Alberto Anguiano Plaintiff - Appellant v. Dallas County Jail Under Sheriff; Jail Staff; Doug Lande; Sandy, Lt.; Renshaw-Roll, Sgt.; Toller, Lt. Defendants - Appellees
Appeal from United States District Court for the Southern District of Iowa - Des Moines [Unpublished] Before WOLLMAN, BYE, and MELLOY, Circuit Judges. PER CURIAM.
Inmate Alberto Anguiano appeals the district court's preservice dismissal of his civil action in which he requested that criminal charges be brought against the named defendants for opening his legal mail. Following careful review of the record and Anguiano's brief, we conclude that the court did not err in dismissing the case, because Anguiano lacked standing to seek criminal charges against defendants. See Linda R.S. v. Richard D., 410 U.S. 614, 619 (1973); Cooper v. Schriro, 189 F.3d 781, 783 (8th Cir. 1999) (per curiam) (de novo review). Accordingly, we affirm, and we also deny the pending motions. See 8th Cir. R. 47B.
The Honorable Robert W. Pratt, United States District Judge for the Southern District of Iowa.
