PER CURIAM.
Frederick Pitchford appeals the district court’s1 dismissal of his 42 U.S.C.
§ 1985 complaint. After careful review, we conclude that the dismissal was proper
for the reasons stated by the district court. See Gometz v. Culwell, 850 F.2d 461, 464
(8th Cir. 1988) (to state § 1985(2) claim, plaintiff must allege with sufficient
particularity that parties reached some agreement and conspired together to deprive
plaintiff of federal right); Harrison v. Springdale Water & Sewer Comm’n, 780 F.2d
1422, 1430 (8th Cir. 1986) (equal protection provision of § 1985(3) requires
allegation of class-based animus). Accordingly, we affirm. See 8th Cir. R. 47B.
