PER CURIAM.

Steven Curtiss (Curtiss), an Iowa prisoner, appeals the district court’s1

 Federal

Rule of Civil Procedure 12(b)(6) dismissal of his civil complaint. Having conducted

de novo review of the dismissal, and having accepted the facts in the complaint as true

and construing them in Curtiss’s favor, see Springdale Educ. Ass’n v. Springdale Sch.

We do not consider the proposed amended complaints Curtiss has filed on

appeal. See Winthrop Res. Corp. v. Eaton Hydraulics, Inc., 361 F.3d 465, 473 (8th

Cir. 2004) (noting the well-settled rule that documents presented for the first time on

appeal are generally not considered part of the record for review by the appellate

court); cf. Dorn v. State Bank of Stella, 767 F.2d 442, 443 (8th Cir. 1985) (per curiam)

(stating the dismissal of an action ordinarily terminates the right to amend the

complaint).

thorough and well-reasoned, and we reject Curtiss’s arguments for reversal.

Accordingly, we affirm. See 8th Cir. R. 47B.2
