PER CURIAM.

     Estelean Jeanette Dodge appeals after the District Court1 dismissed her
complaint alleging that she had been wrongfully denied long-term disability benefits

      1
       The Honorable Billy Roy Wilson, United States District Judge for the Eastern
District of Arkansas.
and asserting a claim under the Employment Retirement Income Security Act. The
District Court dismissed the complaint under Rule 12(b)(6) of the Federal Rules of
Civil Procedure, concluding in a well-reasoned order that the cause of action was
time-barred. After de novo review, we conclude that the dismissal was proper for the
reasons stated by the District Court.2 See Kelly v. City of Omaha, 

,
1075 (8th Cir. 2016) (standard of review).

      We affirm the judgment of the District Court. See 8th Cir. R. 47B.
                      ______________________________
