PER CURIAM.

Former Arkansas inmate Joseph Carthron appeals the district court’s1

 dismissal

of his complaint against employees of the Arkansas Department of Community

Correction. Upon de novo review, we conclude that dismissal was proper for the

reasons the district court stated. See Pearson v. Callahan, 129 S. Ct. 808, 815-16

(2009) (qualified immunity); Bediako v. Stein Mart, Inc., 354 F.3d 835, 839 (8th Cir.

(8th Cir. 2002) (for valid 42 U.S.C. § 1986 claim, plaintiff must have valid 42 U.S.C.

§ 1985 claim); Larson v. Miller, 76 F.3d 1446, 1454 (8th Cir. 1996) (elements of

§ 1985(3) claim); FMC Corp. v. Helton, 202 S.W.3d 490, 502 (Ark. 2005) (no

Arkansas tort of negligent infliction of emotional distress); Crockett v. Essex, 19

S.W.3d 585, 589 (Ark. 2000) (elements of Arkansas tort of intentional infliction of

emotional distress, also known as outrage). Accordingly, we affirm. See 8th Cir. R.

47B.
