Heincie John Haller appeals from the final judgment entered in the United States District Court1 for the District of South Dakota granting defendants& motion to dismiss Haller&s complaint for failure to state a claim under Fed. R. Civ. P. 12(b)(6). In his complaint, Haller asserted broadly that defendants violated various “GOD Given” and constitutional rights in connection with a prior judicial proceeding, and he did not elaborate on the factual basis for his claims in opposition to the motion to dismiss. Having carefully reviewed the record and the parties& briefs, we agree with the district court&s conclusion that Haller&s complaint failed to state a claim, and, contrary to Haller&s argument on appeal, he was not entitled to a jury trial. We therefore affirm the judgment of the district court. See 8th Cir. R. 47B. A true copy. Attest: CLERK, U.S. COURT OF APPEALS, EIGHTH CIRCUIT. 1 The Honorable Lawrence L. Piersol, United States District Judge for the District of South Dakota. -2-
