Before BENTON, SHEPHERD, and KELLY, Circuit Judges.
PER CURIAM.
The district court dismissed Todd Steckelberg’s complaints for failure to state a claim. Steckelberg v. Rice , 184 F.Supp.3d 746, 759 (D. Neb. 2016), incor porated in Order, No. 4:15-CV-3069 (D. Neb. Mar. 24, 2017) (Doc. No. 23). He appeals. After reviewing the record and arguments for reversal, this court concludes that dismissal was proper. See Kruger v. Nebraska , 820 F.3d 295, 301 (8th Cir. 2016) (de novo review). As the district court ruled in its thorough and well-reasoned opinions, the complaints fail to state a claim under federal or Nebraska law. See Steckelberg , 184 F.Supp.3d at 754-59 and Order at 2-5, discussing U.S Const. amends. I, XIV ; 42 U.S.C. §§ 1983, 1985(2) ; Neb. Rev. Stat. § 48-217 ; Neb. Const. art. XV, § 13. Further discussion would have no precedential value. Having jurisdiction under 28 U.S.C. § 1291, the judgment is affirmed. See 8th Cir. R. 47B.
The Honorable John M. Gerrard, United States District Judge for the District of Nebraska.
