Christopher Martin appeals after the district court1 dismissed his civil action, challenging only the resolution of his Employment Retirement Income Security Act claim, which the district court concluded was time-barred. After careful review of the record and the parties’ arguments on appeal, we find no basis for reversal. See Humphrey v. Eureka Gardens Pub. Facility Bd., 891 F.3d 1079, 1081 (8th Cir. 2018) (reviewing de novo grant of Fed. R. Civ. P. 12(b)(6) motion to dismiss claim as time- barred). Accordingly, we affirm, and we deny the pending motions. See 8th Cir. R. 47B. ______________________________ 1 The Honorable Howard Sachs, United States District Judge for the Western District of Missouri. -2-
