Opinion
Donald Butler appeals the district court’s 1 Federal Rule of Civil Procedure 12(b)(6) dismissal of his 42 U.S.C. § 1988 action for failure to state a claim. We find no error in the district court’s determination that Butler’s factual allegations, assumed true, were insufficient to support the claims he advanced. See Hopkins v. City of Bloomington, 774 F.3d 490, 491-92 (8th Cir.2014) (de novo review; pleading offering formulaic recitation of elements of cause or action or conclusions and labels will not suffice); Jackson v. Nixon, 747 F.3d 537, 544 (8th Cir.2014) (pro se complaints are liberally construed). The judgment of the district court is affirmed. See 8th Cir. R. 47B.
. The Honorable Ann D. Montgomery, United States District Judge for the District of Minnesota.
