PER CURIAM.
Ezequiel Rivera appeals following the district court’s1 dismissal of his
employment-related action for failure to state a claim and improper venue. Upon
careful review, we conclude that the dismissal was proper for the reasons stated by
the district court. See Ingram v. Ark. Dep’t of Corr., 91 F.4th 924, 927 (8th Cir.
2024); Buckley v. Hennepin County, 9 F.4th 757, 760 (8th Cir. 2021); Steen v.
Murray, 770 F.3d 698, 702 (8th Cir. 2014).
Accordingly, we affirm. See 8th Cir. R. 47B. We also deny Rivera’s pending
motion as moot.
______________________________
1The Honorable Laura M. Provinzino, United States District Judge for the
District of Minnesota.
