PER CURIAM.

Minnesota inmate Leon Carter appeals from the order of the District Court1

dismissing his 42 U.S.C. § 1983 action. The District Court concluded that Carter

failed to state an Eighth Amendment claim, and the court declined to exercise

jurisdiction over Carter’s state-law claims. After careful de novo review, we affirm

for the reasons given by the District Court. See Blankenship v. USA Truck, Inc., 601

F.3d 852, 853 (8th Cir. 2010) (reviewing de novo the district court’s dismissal for

failure to state a claim, accepting the allegations in the complaint as true and affording

the plaintiff all reasonable inferences that can be drawn from those allegations); see

also Stone v. Harry, 364 F.3d 912, 914 (8th Cir. 2004) (explaining that pro se

complaints are to be liberally construed but noting that "they still must allege

sufficient facts to support the claims advanced").
