Appellate Case: 14-3227 Page: 1 Date Filed: 05/29/2015 Entry ID: 4279954 
Donald Butler appeals the district court’s1

 Federal Rule of Civil Procedure

12(b)(6) dismissal of his 42 U.S.C. § 1983 action for failure to state a claim. We find

no error in the district court’s determination that Butler’s factual allegations, assumed

true, were insufficient to support the claims he advanced. See Hopkins v. City of

Bloomington, 774 F.3d 490, 491-92 (8th Cir. 2014) (de novo review; pleading

offering formulaic recitation of elements of cause or action or conclusions and labels

will not suffice); Jackson v. Nixon, 747 F.3d 537, 544 (8th Cir. 2014) (pro se

complaints are liberally construed). The judgment of the district court is affirmed. 

See 8th Cir. R. 47B.
