Federal prisoner Tarvuell Clark appeals the district court’s1 pre-service dismissal of his Bivens2 action and moves to proceed in forma pauperis (IFP) on appeal. Having carefully reviewed the record, see Moore v. Sims, 200 F.3d 1170, 1171 (8th Cir.2000) (per curiam), we conclude that Mr. Clark’s complaint failed to state an Eighth Amendment claim upon which relief may be granted. Because Mr. Clark has paid the appellate filing fee, we deny his IFP motion as moot.
Accordingly, we affirm. See 8th Cir. R. 47A(a).
