Diabate AMADOU, Appellant, v. J.B. HUNT TRANSPORT, INC., Appellee, 356 F. App'x 889

PER CURIAM. Diabate Amadou appeals the district court’s order dismissing his civil action for failure to state a claim for relief, and denying his motion to amend the complaint. Following de novo review, see O’Neil v. Simplicity, Inc., 574 F.3d 501, 503 (8th Cir.2009), we conclude that dismissal was proper for the reasons stated by the district court, and that the court did not abuse its discretion in denying leave to amend as futile. See Marmo v. Tyson Fresh Meats, Inc., 451 F.3d 748, 755 (8th Cir.2006). Accordingly, we affirm. See 8th Cir. R. 47B. We also deny the pending motion. . The Honorable Donovan W.

Frank, United Slates District Judge for the District of Minnesota. . We decline to address the numerous issues that Amadou raises for the first time on appeal. See Flynn v. Chater, 107 F.3d 617, 620 (8th Cir.1997).
