Before LOKEN, GRUENDER, and KOBES, Circuit Judges.
                          ____________

PER CURIAM.

       Maxim Kuklin appeals following the district court’s1 dismissal with prejudice
of his pro se civil action related to his termination from a graduate program at the
University of Minnesota. After careful review of the record and the parties’
arguments on appeal, we conclude that dismissal was proper. See Montin v. Moore,
846 F.3d 289, 292 (8th Cir. 2017) (reviewing Fed. R. Civ. P 12(b)(6) dismissal de
novo). Accordingly, we affirm. See 8th Cir. R. 47B.
                        ______________________________




      1
      The Honorable Joan N. Ericksen, United States District Judge for the District
of Minnesota, adopting the report and recommendations of the Honorable Katherine
M. Menendez, United States Magistrate Judge for the District of Minnesota.
