Frederick Smith appeals the adverse judgment entered by the district court1 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. 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); Mireles v. Waco, 502 U.S. 9,
11-12 (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.
