Submitted: January 14, 2026 Filed: January 20, 2026 [Unpublished] ____________

Before BENTON, STRAS, and KOBES, Circuit Judges. ____________ PER CURIAM.

Leanda Chaffins appeals the district court’s 1 dismissal of her pro se 42 U.S.C. § 1983 action. Having jurisdiction under 28 U.S.C. § 1291, this court affirms.

After careful de novo review of the record and the parties’ arguments on appeal, this court finds no basis for reversal. See Laclede Gas Co. v. St. Charles Cnty., 713 F.3d 413, 471 (8th Cir. 2013) (standard of review); Awnings v. Fullerton, 912 F.3d 1089, 1097 (8th Cir. 2019) (this court may affirm district court on any basis supported by record).

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