PER CURIAM.
Missouri inmate Rodney McKown appeals the district court’s denial of his motion to amend his complaint in a previously dismissed 42 U.S.C. § 1983 lawsuit. Having carefully reviewed the record, we conclude the district court did not abuse its discretion in denying the motion. Accordingly, we affirm. See 8th Cir. R. 47A(a). . The Honorable Dean Whipple, Chief Judge, United States District Court for the Western District of Missouri.
