PER CURIAM.
Clayton Walker appeals following the district court’s1 adverse grant of
summary judgment in his civil action challenging the constitutionality of certain
South Dakota election laws. Upon careful de novo review, see Odom v. Kaizer, 864
F.3d 920, 921 (8th Cir. 2017) (grant of summary judgment is reviewed de novo);
Libertarian Party of N.D. v. Jaeger, 659 F.3d 687, 692-93 (8th Cir. 2011) (dismissal
for failure to state a claim is reviewed de novo), we affirm for the reasons stated by
the district court. See 8th Cir. R. 47B. We also deny Walker’s appellate motions.
