Before BACHARACH, McKAY, and BALDOCK, Circuit Judges.
                 _________________________________

      Nasrulla Khan, proceeding pro se, appeals from the district court’s dismissal of

his complaint for failure to state a claim upon which relief may be granted.

Exercising jurisdiction pursuant to 28 U.S.C. § 1291, we affirm.

      Mr. Khan’s complaint sought relief under 28 U.S.C. § 1346, which permits

civil actions against the United States “for injury or loss of property, or personal

injury or death caused by the negligent or wrongful act or omission of any employee

of the Government while acting within the scope of his office or employment . . . .”

      *
        After examining the briefs and appellate record, this panel has determined
unanimously that oral argument would not materially assist in the determination of
this appeal. See Fed. R. App. P. 34(a)(2); 10th Cir. R. 34.1(G). The case is therefore
ordered submitted without oral argument. This order and judgment is not binding
precedent, except under the doctrines of law of the case, res judicata, and collateral
estoppel. It may be cited, however, for its persuasive value consistent with
Fed. R. App. P. 32.1 and 10th Cir. R. 32.1.
He alleged that employees of the Federal Bureau of Investigation (FBI) wrote false

and misleading reports about him, the FBI has not corrected or expunged those

reports, and “the FBI has refused to or failed to fairly and thoroughly investigate

[his] complaints.” R. at 16. For his alleged injury, he asserted that he has “not been

able to live a happy life with the knowledge that all of the false and misleading FBI

Reports and FBI records, and other such federal records and privileged records

concerning me are in existence.” 

judge initially screened the complaint prior to it being served and

determined it should be dismissed for failure to state a claim on which relief could be

granted. See 28 U.S.C. § 1915(e)(2)(B)(ii). In her Report and Recommendation, the

magistrate judge explained that, even accepting Mr. Khan’s complaint as true, it

failed to provide sufficient facts that would give rise to a personal injury claim. The

magistrate judge further explained that amending the complaint would be futile, and

recommended that the district court dismiss the complaint.

      Mr. Khan then filed an objection to the Report and Recommendation and

attached a proposed amended complaint. The district court considered Mr. Khan’s

submissions, but it determined that the objection and proposed amended complaint

failed to remedy the deficiencies identified in the Report and Recommendation.

Because the proposed amended complaint still failed to state a claim on which relief

could be granted, the district court adopted the Report and Recommendation and

dismissed the action with prejudice. Mr. Khan now appeals.

      We review the district court’s decision de novo. Kay v. Bemis, 

,

1217 (10th Cir. 2007). In considering whether a complaint states a claim on which

relief could be granted, “we look for plausibility in the complaint.” 

(internal quotation marks and brackets omitted). “In particular, we look to the

specific allegations in the complaint to determine whether they plausibly support a

legal claim for relief.” 

marks omitted). In doing so, we are

guided by the Supreme Court’s instruction that “[f]actual allegations [in a complaint]

must be enough to raise a right to relief above the speculative level.” Bell Atl. Corp.

v. Twombly, 

, 555 (2007).

      We have reviewed Mr. Khan’s extensive list of proposed errors and his related

arguments, but we agree with the district court that neither Mr. Khan’s initial

complaint nor his proposed amended complaint state a claim on which relief could be

granted.1 Accordingly, we affirm the district court’s judgment. We also deny

Mr. Khan’s motion to supplement the record on appeal.

       As the district court did, we liberally construe Mr. Khan’s pro se complaints.
