PER CURIAM.

      Charles Armstrong appeals from the district court’s1 order dismissing his pro se
action against Taylor Real Estate Company, Midland Manors, and three individual
defendants. After careful review of the record, we conclude Mr. Armstrong’s
complaint was frivolous and failed to state a claim for the reasons given by the district

       The Honorable Jean C. Hamilton, Chief Judge, United States District Court for
the Eastern District of Missouri.
court. See 28 U.S.C. § 1915(e)(2)(B)(i), (ii) (action subject to dismissal if it is
frivolous or fails to state claim upon which relief may be granted); Martin v. Sargent,
780 F.2d 1334, 1337 (8th Cir. 1985) (pro se pleading must contain specific facts
supporting its conclusions). Accordingly, we affirm. See 8th Cir. R. 47A(a).
