David Stebbins v. Boone County, AR

Opinion

PER CURIAM.

David Anthony Stebbins appeals the district court’s 1 dismissal of his Americans with Disabilities Act and 42 U.S.C. § 1983 action, following a two-day evidentiary hearing; and the district court’s 2 earlier partial grant of judgment on the pleadings. We have carefully considered Stebbins’s arguments for reversal, and we find no error in the partial grant of judgment on the pleadings, see McIvor v. Credit Control Servs., Inc., 773 F.3d 909, 912-13 (8th Cir. 2014) (de novo review; complaint must contain sufficient facts which, accepted as true, state claim to relief that is plausible on its face); or in the post-hearing dismissal of the remaining claims, see Johnson v. Bi-State Justice Ctr., 12 F.3d 133, 135-36 (8th Cir. 1993) (where both sides offer evidence in hearing so procedure resembles summary judgment motion with live evidence, standard is whether evidence is so one-sided that one party prevails as matter of law); Moody v. St. Charles County, 23 F.3d 1410, 1412 (8th Cir. 1994) (to survive summary judgment, plaintiff must substantiate allegations with sufficient probative evidence that would permit finding in his favor). The judgment of the district court is affirmed. See 8th Cir. R. 47B.
