United States Court of Appeals For the Eighth Circuit ___________________________ No. 20-3670 ___________________________ Latreka Jones lllllllllllllllllllllPlaintiff - Appellant v. Capella University; Julie Johnson; Shannon Stordahl; Joe Rennie, Sr. Learners Affairs Associates; Dr. Jennifer Raymar, President's Designee for Academic Appeals lllllllllllllllllllllDefendants - Appellees ____________ Appeal from United States District Court for the District of Minnesota ____________ Submitted: June 9, 2021 Filed: June 14, 2021 [Unpublished] ____________ Before ERICKSON, MELLOY, and STRAS, Circuit Judges. ____________ PER CURIAM. Latreka Jones appeals the district court’s1 dismissal of her pro se complaint against Capella University (Capella), a Minnesota for-profit online university, and four Capella employees, and the denial of her motion to amend her complaint. Having carefully reviewed the record and the parties’ arguments on appeal, we find no basis for reversal. See Montin v. Moore, 846 F.3d 289 (8th Cir. 2017) (de novo review of Fed. R. Civ. P. 12(b)(6) dismissal); Zutz v. Nelson, 601 F.3d 842, 850 (8th Cir. 2010) (ordinarily, denial of leave to amend is reviewed for abuse of discretion, but when district court denies leave on basis of futility, this court reviews underlying legal conclusions de novo; amendment is futile when it could not survive a motion to dismiss under Rule 12(b)(6)). The judgment is affirmed. See 8th Cir. R. 47B. ______________________________ 1 The Honorable David S. Doty, United States District Judge for the District of Minnesota. -2-
