Before SHEPHERD, GRASZ, and KOBES, Circuit Judges. ____________

PER CURIAM. Brent Ristow appeals the district court’s1 dismissal of his pro se action, brought under 42 U.S.C. §§ 1983 and 1985, challenging the proceedings which culminated in the denial of his admission to the Minnesota Bar. Upon careful de novo review, see Chase v. Andeavor Logistics, L.P., 12 F.4th 864, 868 (8th Cir. 2021) (standard of review), we conclude that dismissal was proper for the reasons stated by the district court.

The judgment is affirmed. See 8th Cir. R. 47B. ______________________________

1 The Honorable Susan Richard Nelson, United States District Judge for the District of Minnesota.
