PER CURIAM.

-- 1 of 2 --

Arkansas inmate Michael Douglas appeals the district court’s preservice1
dismissal of his 42 U.S.C. § 1983 action against two state officials seeking an
injunction relieving him of further obligation to register under Arkansas’s sex-
offender-registration statute when he is paroled because the statute as applied to him
violates the Ex Post Facto Clause of the United States Constitution. Following
careful review of Douglas’s § 1983 complaint and brief on appeal, we agree with the
district court that prior state and federal court decisions have established that his
“allegations do not state an actionable constitutional claim.” Therefore, we affirm.
See 8th Cir. R. 47B.

The Honorable D.P. Marshall, Jr., United States District Judge for the Eastern1

Jerome T. Kearney, United States Magistrate Judge for the Eastern District of
Arkansas.
