Before WOLLMAN, GRUENDER, and SHEPHERD, Circuit Judges.
                       ____________

PER CURIAM.

      Theo Smith appeals from an order directing him to pay sanctions under Federal
Rule of Civil Procedure 11. Upon careful review, we find no abuse of discretion. See
Dunbar v. Wells Fargo Bank, N.A., 709 F.3d 1254, 1258 (8th Cir. 2013) (standard of
review; history of frivolous litigation is relevant factor in decision to impose
sanctions). Accordingly, we affirm. See 8th Cir. R. 47B.
