carefully reviewed the record and the parties’ arguments on appeal, we conclude the
complaint failed to state a claim upon which relief could be granted. See Star City
Sch. Dist. v. ACI Bldg. Sys., LLC, 844 F.3d 1011, 1016 (8th Cir. 2017) (reviewing a
dismissal for failure to state a claim de novo); see also Russell v. Anderson, 966 F.3d
711, 720 (8th Cir. 2020) (applying the plain-error standard to unpreserved issues in
civil cases). We accordingly affirm the judgment of the district court. See 8th Cir.
R. 47B.
