Missouri resident Brandon White appeals following the district court’s1 dismissal of his civil rights action. After careful consideration of the record and the parties’ arguments on appeal, we conclude that the district court properly dismissed White’s claims. See Clemons v. Crawford, 585 F.3d 1119, 1124 (8th Cir. 2009) (grant of judgment on the pleadings is reviewed de novo); Kurka v. Iowa Cnty., 628 F.3d 953, 957 (8th Cir. 2010) (dismissal for untimely service is reviewed for abuse of discretion); Ketchum v. City of West Memphis, 974 F.2d 81, 82 (8th Cir. 1992) (police departments are subdivisions of their city government and not subject to suit).

We also discern no abuse of discretion in the district court’s decision to deny White’s motion for sanctions. See Chambers v. Pennycook, 641 F.3d 898, 909 (8th Cir. 2011) (denial of motion for sanctions is reviewed for abuse of discretion). Accordingly, we affirm. See 8th Cir. R. 47B. ______________________________

The Honorable Beth Phillips, Chief Judge, United States District Court for the Western District of Missouri.
