PER CURIAM.

-- 1 of 2 --

Sakima Iban Salih El Bay appeals the district court’s1 preservice dismissal of
his complaint seeking declaratory, injunctive, and monetary relief following his
Arkansas arrest and subsequent convictions for driving on a suspended license and
careless and prohibited driving. Having jurisdiction under 28 U.S.C. § 1291, this
court affirms.
This court concludes that the district court properly dismissed the complaint
because Salih El Bay’s convictions have not been reversed and a judgment in his
favor would necessarily call their validity into question. See Moore v. Sims, 200 F.3d
1170, 1171 (8th Cir. 2000) (per curiam) (de novo review of § 1915(e)(2)(B) dismissal
for failure to state a claim); Heck v. Humphrey, 512 U.S. 477, 486-87 (1994).
The judgment is affirmed. See 8th Cir. R. 47B.
