Donald Butler appeals the district court’s1 Federal Rule of Civil Procedure 12(b)(6) dismissal of his 42 U.S.C. § 1983 action for failure to state a claim.

City of Bloomington, 774 F.3d 490, 491-92 (8th Cir. 2014) (de novo review; pleading offering formulaic recitation of elements of cause or action or conclusions and labels will not suffice); Jackson v.

R. 47B. ______________________________ 1 The Honorable Ann D. Montgomery, United States District Judge for the District of Minnesota. -2-
