PER CURIAM.
Arkansas inmate Michael Boyd appeals the district court’s1 28 U.S.C.
§ 1915(e)(2)(B) preservice dismissal of his civil rights action, in which he raised
claims related to his 2013 arrest, prosecution, and conviction for bank robbery. The
district court dismissed Boyd’s complaint, concluding that his 42 U.S.C. § 1983claims were barred by sovereign, judicial, and prosecutorial immunity, Heck v.
Humphrey, 512 U.S. 477 (1994), and the statute of limitations; and that he failed to
state a conspiracy claim. Having carefully reviewed the record and the parties’
arguments on appeal, we find no basis for reversal. See Moore v. Sims, 200 F.3d
1170, 1171 (8th Cir. 2000) (per curiam) (de novo review of § 1915(e)(2)(B)
dismissal). The judgment is affirmed.
