PER CURIAM.

Appellate Case: 14-3214 Page: 1 Date Filed: 06/22/2015 Entry ID: 4287354 
Marixia Maldonado,Calvin Allen, and Jennifer Brashears appealfollowing the

district court’s dismissal and denial of numerous post-judgment motions in a civil

1

suit Maldonado initiated when her job for Ozark Area Community Action

Corporation ended. We find no basis for error in the district court’s denial of

Maldonado’s motion for leave to file an amended complaint, see In re Hutchinson

Tech., Inc. Sec. Litig., 536 F.3d 952, 962 (8th Cir. 2008) (de novo review), or its

grant of defendants’ Federal Rule of Civil Procedure 12(b)(6) motion, see Hopkins

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

Topchian v. JPMorgan Chase Bank, N.A., 760 F.3d 843, 849 (8th Cir. 2014) (pro se

complaints must be liberally construed). There is no merit to appellants’ challenges

to the other district court rulings they identify, including the motions seeking to add

Allen and Brashears as parties, and the motion to recuse. The judgment of the district

court is affirmed, see 8th Cir. R. 47B; and appellants’ pending motion to take judicial

notice is denied.
