PER CURIAM.
Paul Blaise appeals the district court’s 1 preservice dismissal of his 42 U.S.C.
§ 1983 action. Upon careful review, see Moore v. Sims, 200 F.3d 1170, 1171 (8th
Cir. 2000) (per curiam) (de novo review), we affirm the dismissal for the reasons
stated by the district court, see 8th Cir. R. 47B. However, to the extent Blaise’s claims
for damages were dismissed pursuant to Heck v. Humphrey, 512 U.S. 477, 486-87
-- 1 of 2 --
-2-
(1994), we modify the dismissal to be without prejudice, see Schafer v. Moore, 46
F.3d 43, 45 (8th Cir. 1995) (per curiam) (dismissal under Heck should be without
prejudice so plaintiff can refile if he satisfies Heck requirements).
