Appellate Case: 15-2791 Page: 1 Date Filed: 02/11/2016 Entry ID: 4365798 
Erwin Jefferson appeals from the judgment of the District Court granting

1

defendants’ motion to dismiss the civil rights action he brought under 42 U.S.C.

§§ 1981, 1983, and 1985, in which he challenged Nebraska probate proceedings. We

have carefully reviewed the record and the parties’ submissions on appeal, and we

find no basis for reversal. See Anderson-Tully Co. v. McDaniel, 571 F.3d 760, 762

(8th Cir.) (standard of review), cert. denied, 558 U.S. 1050 (2009). Accordingly, the

judgment is affirmed. See 8th Cir. R. 47B.
