Elizabeth McCray, on behalf of her minor child B.J.G., appeals the district court’s 1 dismissal of her 42 U.S.C. § 1983 action under Federal Rule of Civil Procedure 12(b)(6). Upon careful de novo review, see Carter v. Arkansas, 392 F.3d 965, 968 (8th Cir. 2004), we conclude that dismissal was proper for the reasons the district court stated. Accordingly, we affirm. See 8th Cir. R. 47B. We also deny as moot appellee Francis Howell School District’s motion to strike McCray’s reply brief.
