Chrystal GRAY, Plaintiff-Appellant v. ARKANSAS DEPARTMENT OF HUMAN SERVICES; John Selig, Director, DHS; Toni Bogan, Former Manager, Appeals and Hearings, Office of Chief Counsel, DHS; Sherry Middleton, Division of Volunteerism, DHS, Defendants-Appellees.
    No. 14-1509.
    United States Court of Appeals, Eighth Circuit.
    Submitted: Dec. 30, 2014.
    Filed: Jan. 6, 2015.
    Chrystal Gray, Little Rock, AR, pro se.
    Nader G. Afsordeh, Carmen M. Mosley-Sims, Arkansas Department of Human Services, Office of Policy and Legal Services, Little Rock, AR, for Defendants-Appellees.
    Before GRUENDER, BENTON, and KELLY, Circuit Judges.
   PER CURIAM.

Chrystal Gray appeals the district court’s dismissal of her complaint as time-barred. Having carefully reviewed the record and the parties’ arguments on appeal, we conclude that Gray’s complaint did not relate back to a pleading- she filed in a separate lawsuit and that her claims were barred under the applicable statute of limitations. See Fed.R.Civ.P. 15(c) (providing for relation back under certain circumstances involving amendment of original pleading); Smithrud v. City of St. Paul, 746 F.3d 391, 395 (8th Cir.) (dismissal based on statute of limitations is reviewed de novo), cert. denied, - U.S. -, 135 S.Ct. 361, 190 L.Ed.2d 251 (2014).

Accordingly, we affirm. See 8th Cir. R. 47B. 
      
      . The Honorable James M. Moody, United States District Judge for the Eastern District of Arkansas, now retired.
