PER CURIAM.
South Dakota resident Sonji Black Bear appeals the district court’s1 dismissal
of her civil rights action pursuant to Federal Rules of Civil Procedure 12(b)(1) and
12(b)(6). After careful review of the record, including the well-reasoned opinion of
the district court, we find no basis for reversal. See Dalton v. NPC Int’l, Inc., 932
F.3d 693, 695 (8th Cir. 2019) (standard of review). Accordingly, we affirm. See 8th
Cir. R. 47B.
