Before MELLOY, BOWMAN, and SMITH, Circuit Judges.
                         ___________

PER CURIAM.

       Sandra Kemper appeals the district court’s1 order dismissing her federal civil
rights and state-law tort claims against St. Louis County. After careful de novo
review, see O’Neil v. Simplicity, Inc., 

, 503 (8th Cir. 2009) (dismissal),
Cousineau v. Norstan, Inc., 

, 499 (8th Cir. 2003) (questions of state law),
we conclude that dismissal was proper for the reasons stated by the district court.
Accordingly, we affirm. See 8th Cir. R. 47B.
                       ______________________________


      1
        The Honorable Carol E. Jackson, United States District Judge for the Eastern
District of Missouri.
