In this pro se employment-discrimination action, Kenneth Brantley appeals the district court’s 1 dismissal with prejudice. Upon careful review of the parties’ arguments on appeal and the circumstances of this case, we conclude that the district court did not abuse its discretion. See Fed.R.Civ.P. 37(b)(2), (d), 41(b); Sentis Group, Inc. v. Shell Oil Co., 559 F.3d 888, 898-99 (8th Cir. 2009) (standard of review for dismissal under Rule 37); Smith v. Gold Dust Casino, 526 F.3d 402, 404-05 (8th Cir. 2008) (standard of review for dismissal under Rule 41(b)). Accordingly, we affirm. See 8th Cir. R. 47B.
