No. 19-3398

Decided: July 28, 2020

Before LOKEN, BENTON, and SHEPHERD, Circuit Judges.

Michael H. Lind, Mary C. Lind, Thornfield, MO, pro se. Damon S. Phillips, Keck & Phillips, LLC, Springfield, MO, for defendants-appellees Linda T. McKinney, Thomas Cline, John J. Garrabrant, and Darrin Reed. Mark D. Blanton, Asst. Atty. Gen., Jefferson City, MO (Eric Schmitt, Atty. Gen., on the brief), for defendants-appellees Becki Strong and Jackie Jones.

[Unpublished]

Michael and Mary Lind appeal four district court ¹ orders disposing of their pro se action raising claims under 42 U.S.C. § 1983, the Racketeer Influenced and Corrupt Organizations Act, and state law. Following a careful review, we conclude that the district court did not err in granting judgment for defendants. See Plymouth Cty. v. Merscorp, Inc., 774 F.3d 1155, 1158 (8th Cir. 2014) (dismissal under Federal Rule of Civil Procedure 12(b)(6) is reviewed de novo); Johnson v. Blaukat, 453 F.3d 1108, 1112 (8th Cir. 2006) (grant of summary judgment is reviewed de novo). Accordingly, for the reasons stated in the district court's order, we affirm. See 8th Cir. R. 47B.
