                                  ____________
Before MURPHY, BOWMAN, and SHEPHERD, Circuit Judges.
                         ____________

PER CURIAM.

        Nhut Le and Chai M. Le appeal from the order of the District Court1 dismissing
their complaint. Following careful de novo review, we agree with the District Court
that the Les’ complaint—which was devoid of factual allegations and contained only
conclusory legal theories about improprieties surrounding the foreclosure sale of their
home and the underlying loan-related documents—failed to state a claim upon which
relief could be granted. See Fed. R. Civ. P. 12(b)(6); see also Ashcroft v. Iqbal, 556
U.S. 662, 678 (2009) (“To survive a motion to dismiss, a complaint must contain
sufficient factual matter, accepted as true, to ‘state a claim to relief that is plausible
on its face.’” (citation to quoted case omitted)); Bell Atlantic Corp. v. Twombly, 550
U.S. 544, 555 (2007); Topchian v. JPMorgan Chase Bank, N.A., 760 F.3d 843, 848
(8th Cir. 2014) (standard of review). We have considered the Les’ other arguments
for reversal and find them to be without merit. We therefore affirm the judgment of
the District Court.
                          ______________________________

      1
       The Honorable Susan Richard Nelson, United States District Judge for the
District of Minnesota, adopting the report and recommendations of the Honorable
Jeffrey J. Keyes, United States Magistrate Judge for the District of Minnesota.
