Appeal from United States District Court for the District of Minnesota ____________

Submitted: October 24, 2024 Filed: June 3, 2025 [Unpublished] ____________ Before SHEPHERD, KELLY, and STRAS, Circuit Judges. ____________

PER CURIAM.

Keith Washington appeals the district court’s1 dismissal of his pro se civil rights action. After careful review of the record and the parties’ arguments on appeal, we conclude that the district court properly dismissed the action for failure to state a claim. See Waters v. Madson, 921 F.3d 725, 734 (8th Cir. 2019) (reviewing dismissal for failure to state claim de novo). Accordingly, we affirm. See 8th Cir. R. 47B. ______________________________

1 The Honorable Katherine M. Menendez, United States District Judge for the District of Minnesota, adopting the report and recommendations of the Honorable Dulce J. Foster, United States Magistrate Judge for the District of Minnesota.
