                                  ____________

Before SHEPHERD, BYE, and KELLY, Circuit Judges.
                           ____________
PER CURIAM.
       Donald Butler appeals the district court’s1 Federal Rule of Civil Procedure
12(b)(6) dismissal of his 42 U.S.C. § 1983 action for failure to state a claim. We find
no error in the district court’s determination that Butler’s factual allegations, assumed
true, were insufficient to support the claims he advanced. See Hopkins v. City of
Bloomington, 774 F.3d 490, 491-92 (8th Cir. 2014) (de novo review; pleading
offering formulaic recitation of elements of cause or action or conclusions and labels
will not suffice); Jackson v. Nixon, 747 F.3d 537, 544 (8th Cir. 2014) (pro se
complaints are liberally construed). The judgment of the district court is affirmed.
See 8th Cir. R. 47B.
                          ______________________________

      1
        The Honorable Ann D. Montgomery, United States District Judge for the
District of Minnesota.
