Phillip Palade, Gregory Borse, and J. Thomas Sullivan appeal the district court's ¹ without-prejudice dismissal of their action under, inter alia, 42 U.S.C. § 1983. Having carefully reviewed the record and the parties’ arguments on appeal, we find no basis for reversal. See Zink v. Lombardi, 783 F.3d 1089, 1098 (8th Cir. 2015) (en banc) (per curiam) (standard of review). Accordingly, we affirm. See 8th Cir. R. 47B.
