Opinion

PER CURIAM.

In this civil action removed from state court, Felicia Taylor appeals the district court’s 1 orders refusing to remand the matter to state court, dismissing her complaint under Federal Rule of Civil Procedure 12(b)(6), and denying post-judgment relief. Upon careful review, see Junk v. Terminix Int’l Co., 628 F.3d 439, 444 (8th Cir.2010), we conclude that the court properly denied Taylor’s motion to remand, because removal, based on diversity of citizenship and an amount in controversy exceeding $75,000, was proper. We also conclude that the court properly dismissed the action for failure to state a claim, see Hallquist v. United Home Loans, Inc., 715 F.3d 1040, 1044 (8th Cir.2013) (standard of review), for the reasons discussed by the district court; and we see no abuse of discretion in the denial of post-judgment relief, see Bernard v. U.S. Dep’t of Interior, 674 F.3d 904, 908 (8th Cir.2012).

Accordingly, we affirm. See 8th Cir. R. 47B.

1 . The Honorable Brian S. Miller, Chief Judge, United States District Court for the Eastern District of Arkansas.
