Submitted: December 27, 2022 Filed: January 4, 2023 [Unpublished] ____________

Before GRASZ, MELLOY, and KOBES, Circuit Judges. ____________ PER CURIAM.

Rick Lee Searcy appeals the district court’s1 dismissal of his pro se 42 U.S.C. §§ 1983, 1985, and 1986 action. After careful review of the record and the parties’ arguments on appeal, we find no basis for reversal. See Plymouth Cnty. v. Merscorp, Inc., 774 F.3d 1155, 1158 (8th Cir. 2014) (Fed. R. Civ. P. 12(b) dismissal reviewed de novo); Moore v. Jackson, 123 F.3d 1082, 1085 (8th Cir. 1997) (Fed. R. Civ. P. 4(m) dismissal reviewed for abuse of discretion); Oden v. Shane Smith Enters., Inc., 27 F.4th 631, 633 (8th Cir. 2022) (recusal decision reviewed for abuse of discretion). Accordingly, we affirm and deny the motion for oral argument as moot. See 8th Cir. R. 47B. ______________________________

1 The Honorable Greg Kays, United States District Judge for the Western District of Missouri.
