PER CURIAM.
Charles Armstrong appeals the district court’s order dismissing his pro se civil rights complaint against private-party defendants. After careful review of the record, we conclude that Mr. Armstrong’s complaint was frivolous and failed to state a claim. See 28 U.S.C. § 1915(e)(2)(B)®, (ii); Fed.R.Civ.P. 8(a)(2), (e)(1); Bray v. Alexandria Women’s Health Clinic, 506 U.S. 263, 267-68, 113 S.Ct. 753, 122 L.Ed.2d 34 (1993); West v. Atkins, 487 U.S. 42, 48, 108 S.Ct. 2250, 101 L.Ed.2d 40 (1988); Johnson v. Outboard Marine Corp., 172 F.3d 531, 536 (8th Cir.1999). Accordingly, we affirm. See 8th Cir. R. 47A(a).
. The Honorable Charles A. Shaw, United States District Judge for the Eastern District of Missouri.
