Estelean Jeanette DODGE, Plaintiff-Appellant v. HARTFORD LIFE AND ACCIDENT INSURANCE COMPANY,Defendant-Appellee
    No. 17-1417
    United States Court of Appeals, Eighth Circuit.
    Submitted: January 26, 2018
    Filed: February 13, 2018
    Estelean Jeanette Dodge, Pro Se
    Jodi Warmbrod Dishman, McAfee & Taft, Oklahoma City, OK, for Defendant-Appellee
    Before GRUENDER, BOWMAN, and KELLY, Circuit Judges.
   PER CURIAM.

Estelean Jeanette Dodge appeals after the District Court dismissed her complaint alleging that she had been wrongfully denied long-term disability benefits and asserting a claim under the Employment Retirement Income Security Act. The District Court dismissed the complaint under Rule 12(b)(6) of the Federal Rules of Civil Procedure, concluding in a well-reasoned order that the cause of action was time-barred. After de novo review, we conclude that the dismissal was proper for the reasons stated by the District Court. See Kelly v. City of Omaha, 813 F.3d 1070, 1075 (8th Cir. 2016) (standard of review).

We affirm the judgment of the District Court. See 8th Cir. R. 47B. 
      
      . The Honorable Billy Roy Wilson, United States District Judge for the Eastern District of Arkansas.
     
      
      . We decline to consider issues raised for the first time on appeal or documents that were not before the District Court. See Dubinsky v. Mermart, LLC, 595 F.3d 812, 819 (8th Cir. 2010); Griffin v. Super Valu, 218 F.3d 869, 871 (8th Cir. 2000).
