Frederick Smith v. Democratic Party Arkansas

U.S. Court of Appeals for the Eighth Circuit
Frederick Smith v. Democratic Party Arkansas, 668 F. App'x 192 (8th Cir. 2016)

Frederick Smith v. Democratic Party Arkansas

Opinion

PER CURIAM.

Frederick Smith appeals the adverse judgment entered by the district court 1 in his action asserting claims under, inter alia, 42 U.S.C. § 1983 and state law. Upon careful de novo review, we conclude that the district court appropriately disposed of Smith’s claims. See Anderson-Tully Co. v. *193 McDaniel, 571 F.3d 760, 762 (8th Cir. 2009) (grant of motion to dismiss is reviewed de novo); see also 28 U.S.C. § 1367(c)(4) (addressing supplemental jurisdiction); Mire les v. Waco, 502 U.S. 9, 11-12, 112 S.Ct. 286, 116 L.Ed.2d 9 (1991) (per curiam) (discussing absolute judicial immunity); King v. Beavers, 148 F.3d 1031, 1035 n.4 (8th Cir. 1998) (discussing, inter alia, qualified immunity).

Accordingly, we affirm. See 8th Cir. R. 47B. We also deny Smith’s pending motions.

. The Honorable D, P. Marshall Jr., United States District Judge for the Eastern District of Arkansas.
