Appeal from United States District Court
for the District of South Dakota - Sioux Falls
____________
Submitted: December 2, 2014
Filed: December 5, 2014
[Unpublished]
____________
Before SMITH, BOWMAN, and COLLOTON, Circuit Judges.
____________
PER CURIAM.
Roger Waldner appeals from the adverse judgment of the District Court1 in his
action under the Racketeer Influenced and Corrupt Organizations Act (RICO) entered
after the court granted defendants’ various motions and dismissed sua sponte the few
remaining claims. Upon careful consideration of the issues Waldner raises on
appeal,2 we find no basis for reversal. The judgment of the District Court is affirmed.
See 8th Cir. R. 47B.
______________________________

1

The Honorable Lawrence L. Piersol, United States District Judge for the
District of South Dakota.
2

Waldner has dropped his appeal from orders disposing of his claims against
some defendants, and we decline to consider claims that he has waived by not
including any meaningful arguments on appeal. See Williams v. Decker, 767 F.3d
734, 743 n.3 (8th Cir. 2014).
