The Honorable Richard H. Kyle, United States District Judge for the District
of Minnesota.
issues properly raised on appeal, we find no basis for reversal. See Butler v. Bank of
America, N.A., 690 F.3d 959, 962 (8th Cir. 2012) (rejecting theory that holder of
mortgage must also hold note in order to foreclose); see also Ashcroft v. Iqbal,
556 U.S. 662, 678 (2009) (courts are not bound to accept as true legal conclusions
couched as factual allegations); Hill v. City of Pine Bluff, Ark., 696 F.3d 709, 712 n.2
(8th Cir. 2012) (claims not argued on appeal are deemed abandoned); Rotskoff v.
Cooley, 438 F.3d 852, 854 (8th Cir. 2006) (appellant waives challenge to district
court’s ruling by failing to develop issue in brief as required by rules of appellate
procedure); Stone v. Harry, 364 F.3d 912, 914 (8th Cir. 2004) (claims not presented
in district court may not be advanced for first time on appeal).
Accordingly, we affirm. See 8th Cir. R. 47B.
