John Wayne Speakman, Jr. brought the instant action asserting claims under the Equal Protection Clause and 42 U.S.C. §§ 1983, 1985, and 1986. Speakman alleged that defendants conspired to remove his name from the 2000 primary-election ballot for Jackson County Sheriff without affording him the judicial review required under Missouri law. The district court 1 dismissed the complaint and we affirm, as we conclude Speakman’s complaint failed to state cognizable federal claims. See Carpenter Outdoor Adver. Co. v. City of Fenton, 251 F.3d 686, 690 (8th Cir. 2001) (§ 1985); Gordon v. Hansen, 168 F.3d 1109, 1113 (8th Cir. 1999) (per curiam) (§ 1983); Miller v. Benson, 51 F.3d 166, 170 (8th Cir. 1995) (this court may affirm on any ground supported by record); Seltzer-Bey v. Delo, 66 F.3d 961, 964 (8th Cir. 1995) (equal protection); Kaylor v. Fields, 661 F.2d 1177, 1184 (8th Cir. 1981) (§ 1986 cause of action depends on valid § 1985 claim).

*147 Accordingly, we affirm. See 8th Cir. R. 47B.
