-- 1 of 2 --

Calvin Hollowell appeals after the district court dismissed his civil action1
related to the purchase of a vehicle. After careful de novo review, see Roe v.
Nebraska, 861 F.3d 785, 787 (8th Cir. 2017), we conclude that Hollowell failed to
allege facts that would entitle him to relief under 42 U.S.C. §§ 1983 and 1985, or
under the Fair Debt Collection Practices Act (FDCPA), 15 U.S.C. §§ 1692-1692p, see
Bell Atl. Corp. v. Twombly, 550 U.S. 544, 555 (2007) (plaintiff must provide short
and plain statement of claim showing that he is entitled to relief); see also Magee v.
Trs. of Hamline Univ., Minn., 747 F.3d 532, 536-37 (8th Cir. 2014) (plaintiff failed
to state § 1983 claim against private party where no facts plausibly alleged mutual
understanding between private party and state actor); Federer v. Gephardt, 363 F.3d
754, 758 (8th Cir. 2004) (to state § 1985 claim, plaintiff must allege violation of
federally protected right). Accordingly, the judgment is affirmed. See 8th Cir. R.
47B.
