that "Whe facts as stated simply do not state a civil rights claim for relief." We have reviewed appellant's complaint and his reply to the district court's order directing him to submit points and authorities demonstrating a factual and legal basis for his claims for relief. Having done so, we agree with the district court that, based on the facts alleged, appellant failed to adequately articulate any recognizable causes of action under the constitutional amendments cited. Jordan v. State ex rel. Dep't of Motor Vehicles & Pub. Safety, 121 Nev. 44, 57-58, 110 P.3d 30, 41 (2005) (recognizing that a district court may dismiss a complaint after the plaintiff has had an opportunity and failed to cure perceived defects in the complaint), abrogated on other grounds by Buzz Stew, LLC v. City of N.

Las Vegas, 124 Nev. 224, 228 n.6, 181 P.3d 670, 672 n.6 (2008); Buzz Stew, 124 Nev. at 227-28, 181 P.3d at 672 (2008) (recognizing that dismissal of a complaint is proper when the complaint's factual allegations, even when recognized as true, do not satisfy the elements of the causes of action being asserted). Accordingly, we ORDER the judgment of the district court AFFIRMED.
