the basis of absolute judicial immunity and for failure to state a claim upon which relief

        The Honorable James M. Rosenbaum, United States District Judge for the
District of Minnesota.
can be granted. After de novo review, see Ring v. First Interstate Mortgage, Inc., 984
F.2d 924, 926 (8th Cir. 1993), we conclude dismissal was proper for the reasons stated
by the district court. Accordingly, we affirm. See 8th Cir. R. 47B.
