Before GRUENDER, BENTON, and KELLY, Circuit Judges.
                         ____________

PER CURIAM.
       Chrystal Gray appeals the district court’s1 dismissal of her complaint as
time-barred. Having carefully reviewed the record and the parties’ arguments on
appeal, we conclude that Gray’s complaint did not relate back to a pleading she filed
in a separate lawsuit and that her claims were barred under the applicable statute of
limitations. See Fed. R. Civ. P. 15(c) (providing for relation back under certain
circumstances involving amendment of original pleading); Smithrud v. City of St.
Paul, 746 F.3d 391, 395 (8th Cir.) (dismissal based on statute of limitations is
reviewed de novo), cert. denied, 135 S. Ct. 361 (2014).

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