Calvin Hollowell appeals an order of the District Court1 dismissing his civil action related to state garnishment proceedings. Upon careful de novo review, see Carter v. Arkansas, 392 F.3d 965, 968 (8th Cir. 2004), we conclude that based on the allegations in Hollowell s complaint, he can prove no set of facts that would entitle him to relief on the claims he asserted under 42 U.S.C. §§ 1983, 1985, and 1986, as well as the Fair Debt Collection Practices Act, 15 U.S.C. §§ 1692 1692p,2 see Bell Atl. Corp. v. Twombly, 550 U.S. 544, 555 (2007) (holding that a complaint must contain sufficient factual matter to state a claim for relief that is plausible on its face; plaintiff s obligation to provide grounds of entitlement to relief requires more than labels and conclusions). Accordingly, we modify the District Court s order to reflect that all of the claims asserted in the complaint are dismissed with prejudice, and we affirm the order as modified. ______________________________ 1 The Honorable William R. Wilson, Jr., United States District Judge for the Eastern District of Arkansas. 2 We do not construe the complaint as asserting an independent claim under 42 U.S.C. § 407. -2-
