Before MURPHY, SMITH, and SHEPHERD, Circuit Judges.
                           ____________

PER CURIAM.

       Cord and Natashia Bowers brought a 42 U.S.C. § 1983 action arising out of
allegations that their infant daughter was unconstitutionally removed from Natashia
Bowers without objective reason to believe that abuse or neglect had occurred. The
district court1 dismissed the complaint under Federal Rule of Civil Procedure
12(b)(6), and the Bowers appeal. Upon careful de novo review of the record below,
and the submissions before us on appeal, we conclude that the district court did not
err in dismissing the complaint as failing to state a claim and as raising claims that
were barred by qualified immunity. We also conclude that the district court did not
abuse its discretion in denying leave to amend the complaint.

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




      1
       The Honorable John A. Jarvey, United States District Judge for the Southern
District of Iowa.
