PER CURIAM.
In this diversity case, Layne and Barbara Lindberg appeal the district court’s1 dismissal of their amended complaint. Having carefully reviewed the record and the arguments on appeal, we conclude dismissal was proper for the reasons stated by the district court. See Kelly v. City of Omaha, 813 F.3d 1070, 1075 (8th Cir. 2016) (reviewing de novo grant of Fed. R. Civ. P. 12(b)(6) motion); Reuter v. Jax Ltd., Inc., 711 F.3d 918, 921 (8th Cir. 2013) (reviewing denial of leave to amend for abuse of discretion and question of futility de novo); Stanton v. St. Jude Med., Inc., 340 F.3d 690, 693 (8th Cir. 2003) (reviewing de novo grant of Fed. R. Civ. P. 12(b)(2) motion).
The Lindbergs’ motion for judicial notice is denied; James Dimon and JP Morgan Chase Bank’s motion to dismiss appeal is denied as moot; and the judgment of the district court is affirmed. See 8th Cir. R. 47B. ______________________________
1 The Honorable Jeffrey L. Viken, United States Judge for the District of South Dakota, adopting the report and recommendation of the Honorable Veronica L. Duffy, United States Magistrate Judge for the District of South Dakota.
