PER CURIAM.
Christopher Martin appeals after the district court1 dismissed his civil action,
challenging only the resolution of his Employment Retirement Income Security Act
claim, which the district court concluded was time-barred. After careful review of the
record and the parties’ arguments on appeal, we find no basis for reversal. See
Humphrey v. Eureka Gardens Pub. Facility Bd., 891 F.3d 1079, 1081 (8th Cir. 2018)
(reviewing de novo grant of Fed. R. Civ. P. 12(b)(6) motion to dismiss claim as time-
barred). Accordingly, we affirm, and we deny the pending motions. See 8th Cir. R.
47B.
