PER CURIAM.
LaVerne G. Rens appeals from the final judgment entered in the District Court1
for the Eastern District of Arkansas dismissing his claims against the Arkansas
Department of Education and the Little Rock School District in this action brought
under the Individuals with Disabilities Education Act (IDEA), 20 U.S.C. §§ 1400-1491
1
The Honorable Elsijane T. Roy, United States District Judge for the Eastern
District of Arkansas.
(1990 & Supp. 1997). Upon a thorough review of the record and the parties’ briefs,
we conclude that dismissal was warranted, because Rens’s complaint alleges no more
than a harmless procedural violation of the IDEA. Because we believe that an opinion
would lack precedential value, we summarily affirm the judgment. See 8th Cir. R.
47B.
