Joseph Franklin LOVE, Appellant,
v.
Harry WALTERS, in his Official Capacity as Administrator of
the Veterans' Affairs of the United States Veterans'
Administration; the United States Veterans' Administration;
Ron Cook, Charles G. Crosslin, Jimmy Ingram and Jesse D.
Beam, Individually and in their Official Capacities as
Employees of the United States Veterans' Administration, Appellees.

No. 84-2466.

United States Court of Appeals,
Eighth Circuit.

Submitted Jan. 22, 1985.
Decided Feb. 21, 1985.

Before HEANEY, Circuit Judge, HENLEY, Senior Circuit Judge, and McMILLIAN, Circuit Judge.

PER CURIAM.

1

Joseph Franklin Love appeals pro se from a final order entered in the District Court1 for the Eastern District of Arkansas dismissing his civil rights complaint. Appellant sought review of the administrative denial of his claim for veterans' benefits. The district court dismissed his complaint because judicial review of decisions of the Veterans' Administration is barred by 38 U.S.C. Sec. 211(a) (1982) and because appellant's complaint did not constitute the type of constitutional challenge to veterans' legislation subject to judicial review under Johnson v. Robison, 415 U.S. 361, 366-74, 94 S.Ct. 1160, 1165-69, 39 L.Ed.2d 389 (1974).

2

We have carefully reviewed the record and summarily affirm the order of the district court dismissing appellant's complaint with prejudice. 8th Cir.R. 12(a).
