PER CURIAM.
Lee Dell Robertson appeals the district court's dismissal of Robertson's 42 U.S.C. § 1983 claim for damages. Robertson contends Detective Don Thornell searched Robertson's home and arrested him without probable cause. Robertson's contentions are meritless. The search warrant was issued on undisputed evidence Robertson sold crack cocaine from his home, see George v. City of St. Louis, 26 F.3d 55, 57 (8th Cir. 1994), and Robertson was convicted for the underlying offense after his arrest. See Malady v. Crunk, 902 F.2d 10, 11-12 (8th Cir. 1990). We affirm the district court.
