Before SMITH, BOWMAN, and KELLY, Circuit Judges.
                          ____________

PER CURIAM.
      In this action challenging the non-judicial foreclosure sale of his Missouri
residence, Joe Bailey appeals after the district court1 granted a Fed. R. Civ. P.
12(b)(6) motion to dismiss his complaint. Upon careful de novo review, see Levy v.
Ohl, 477 F.3d 988, 991 (8th Cir. 2007) (standard of review), we conclude that the
complaint was properly dismissed, as nothing in Bailey’s complaint indicated that the
challenged conduct was carried out by a party that was not the lawful holder of his
promissory note. See Lackey v. Wells Fargo Bank, N.A., 747 F.3d 1033, 1037-38
(8th Cir. 2014) (discussing rights and powers of holder of promissory note under
Missouri law); see also Fullington v. Pfizer, Inc., 720 F.3d 739, 747 (8th Cir. 2013)
(appellate court may affirm on any basis supported by record).

      Accordingly, we affirm. See 8th Cir. R. 47B.
                     ______________________________

      1
       The Honorable Ortrie D. Smith, United States District Judge for the Western
District of Missouri.
