United States Court of Appeals FOR THE EIGHTH CIRCUIT
No. 99-3979
Forrest Mittendorf, Appellant, v. Tim Braun, J.D.; State of Missouri; Paul Kaiser, J.D.; Lisa Hewitt, J.D.; Grace Nichols, J.D., Appellees.
Submitted: March 6, 2000
Filed: March 27, 2000
Before McMILLIAN, HANSEN, and MORRIS SHEPPARD ARNOLD, Circuit Judges.
PER CURIAM.
Missouri inmate Forrest Mittendorf appeals from the district court§ 1915A(b) order dismissing without prejudice his 42 U.S.C. § 1983 complaint against
the State of Missouri, three prosecuting attorneys, and a state judge. Having carefully reviewed the record, see Cooper v. Schriro, 189 F.3d 781, 783 (8th Cir. 1999) (per curiam), we conclude dismissal was proper because the State is not a "person" for purposes of section 1983, and all defendants are immune from this suit, see Buckley v. Fitzsimmons, 509 U.S. 259, 273 (1993) (prosecutorial immunity); Will v. Michigan Dep§ 1983); Duty v. City of Springdale, Ark., 42 F.3d 460, 462 (8th Cir. 1994) (per curiam) (judicial immunity); Williams v. Missouri, 973 F.2d 599, 600 (8th Cir. 1992) (per curiam) (stateÂ’s sovereign immunity). Accordingly, we affirm. See 8th Cir. R. 47A(a).
