Robert BOUDINOT, Plaintiff-Appellant v. POLK COUNTY; State of Iowa, Defendants-Appellees.
    No. 14-2839.
    United States Court of Appeals, Eighth Circuit.
    Submitted: Jan. 20, 2015.
    Filed: Jan. 22, 2015.
    Robert Boudinot, Des Moines, IA, pro se.
    Before MURPHY, BOWMAN, and SHEPHERD, Circuit Judges.
   PER CURIAM.

Robert Boudinot appeals the district court’s dismissal of his pro se action seeking damages and a new trial in connection with his 1991 voluntary manslaughter conviction. The district court construed the action as one brought under 42 U.S.C. § 1983, and found that relief was barred by the applicable statute of limitations and that the State of Iowa was immune from suit under the Eleventh Amendment. Following de novo review, see Moore v. Sims, 200 F.3d 1170, 1171 (8th Cir.2000) (per curiam), we affirm, see 8th Cir. R. 47B. 
      
      . The Honorable Stephanie M. Rose, United States District Judge for the Southern District of Iowa.
