[Unpublished]

John Corrigan appeals the district court’s 1 dismissal of his pro se action asserting claims under 42 U.S.C. § 1983 against the City of Savage and several of its police officers, Scott County and several of its employees, the trial court judge who presided over his criminal trial, and the victim of the underlying criminal charge. After careful de novo review, we conclude that the district court did not err in dismissing the case. See Kelly v. City of Omaha, 813 F.3d 1070, 1075 (8th Cir. 2016) (de novo review of grant of Rule 12(b)(6) motion); Saterdalen v. Spencer, 725 F.3d 838, 840-41 (8th Cir. 2013) (de novo review of district court’s grant of judgment on the pleadings). Accordingly, we affirm. See 8th Cir. R. 47B.
