Craig L. Anderson appeals following the district court’s1 entry of judgment in
favor of defendants in his 42 U.S.C. § 1983 action. Upon de novo review of the
record, and careful consideration of Anderson’s arguments for reversal, we find no
basis for overturning the district court’s well-reasoned decision on the motions to
dismiss or for summary judgment. See Carmody v. Kansas City Bd. of Police
Comm’rs, 713 F.3d 401, 404 (8th Cir. 2013) (summary judgment); Laase v. County
of Isanti, 638 F.3d 853, 856 (8th Cir. 2011) (dismissal for failure to state claim based
on res judicata). We also find no abuse of discretion in the court’s denial of the other
rulings Anderson challenges, or appears to challenge, on appeal. See Wiles v. Capitol
Indem. Corp., 280 F.3d 868, 871 (8th Cir. 2002) (leave to amend complaint); Parton v.
White, 203 F.3d 552, 556 (8th Cir. 2000) (per curiam) (Fed. R. Civ. P. 59(e) motion). The

judgment of the district court is affirmed. See 8th Cir. R. 47B.
