PER CURIAM.
Consolidated for review are two appeals from dismissal by the District Courts of North Dakota and Minnesota of plaintiff’s civil rights actions against prison officials in the respective states. The North Dakota action was dismissed for lack of jurisdiction and that in Minnesota for failure to comply with this Courts order contained in Green v. White, 616 F. 2d 1054 (1980).
We are aware that this Court has previously held that some of the claims presented are, on their faces, not frivolous, Green v. White, 605 F. 2d 376 (8th Cir. 1979), cert. denied, 444 U.S. 1083 and 1093, 100 S.Ct. 1038 and 1060, 62 L.Ed.2d 767 and 782, and remanded to the District Court, Eastern District of Missouri, for an evidentiary hearing. That action remains pending, Green v. White, 628 F. 2d 1126 (8th Cir. 1980), and until that action is concluded our order in Green v. White, 616 F. 2d 1054, controls.
The dismissals by the Courts below are affirmed.1
. While the North Dakota action was dismissed for lack of jurisdiction, if the result below is correct it must be affirmed, although the lower court relied on a wrong ground or gave a wrong reason.
