PER CURIAM.
William Pledger, III purports to appeal from the district court's dismissal of
Pledger's complaint. Having carefully reviewed the record, we observe that the
district court has not entered a separate judgment, as required by Federal Rule of Civil
Procedure 58. Accordingly, Pledger's appeal is premature, and we dismiss without
prejudice to the taking of an appeal once the district court enters judgment on a
separate document. See Sanders v. Clemco Indus., 862 F.2d 161, 166-67 (8th Cir.
1988).
