PER CURIAM.

        Nicie Dillehay appeals the district court's dismissal of Dillehay's complaint.
Havin g reviewed the record and the parties' briefs, we conclude the district court's
decision was correct, and we affirm for the reasons stated by the district court See.8th
Cir . R. 47B. Additionally, we construe Dillehay's amendatory filing in this court as a
motion to amend her complaint, and we deny the motion.
