Before BENTON, KELLY, and ERICKSON, Circuit Judges.
                           ____________

PER CURIAM.

      James Shaughnessy appeals the district court’s1 dismissal of his civil action for
lack of personal jurisdiction. Upon careful de novo review, we conclude that

      1
       The Honorable Susan Richard Nelson, United States District Judge for the
District of Minnesota.
dismissal was proper for the reasons stated by the district court. See Creative Calling
Sols., Inc. v. LF Beauty Ltd., 799 F.3d 975, 979 (8th Cir. 2015) (standard of review;
action should not be dismissed for lack of jurisdiction if evidence, viewed in light
most favorable to plaintiff, is sufficient to support conclusion that exercise of
personal jurisdiction over defendant is proper); Conn v. Zakharov, 667 F.3d 705,
717-20 (6th Cir. 2012) (defendant’s ownership of property in and occasional travel
to forum state did not establish prima facie case of general personal jurisdiction).
Accordingly, the judgment of the district court is affirmed. See 8th Cir. R. 47B.
