-- 1 of 2 --

Brock Fredin appeals the district court’s1 dismissal of his diversity action
sounding in tort. Upon careful review of the record and the parties’ arguments on
appeal, we find no basis for reversal. See Kelly v. City of Omaha, 813 F.3d 1070,
1075 (8th Cir. 2016) (grant of motion to dismiss for failure to state claim under Fed.
R. Civ. P. 12(b)(6) is reviewed de novo); see also Ashcroft v. Iqbal, 556 U.S. 662,
678 (2009) (complaint must contain sufficient facts to state claim that is plausible on
its face; claim is plausible when plaintiff pleads factual content allowing court to
draw reasonable inference that defendant is liable for alleged misconduct); Bell Atl.
Corp. v. Twombly, 550 U.S. 544, 555 (2007) (factual allegations must show
entitlement to relief beyond speculative level; mere conclusions and formulaic
recitation of elements do not suffice).
The judgment is affirmed. See 8th Cir. R. 47B.
