PER CURIAM.
Adam Paul Strege appeals the district court’s 1 order granting defendants’
motions to dismiss his complaint. The district court reasoned, in part, that Strege’s
complaint, which consisted of unintelligible allegations of conspiracy to conceal
murder and other wrongdoing on the part of the named individuals and entities, failed
to state a claim upon which relief could be granted against any defendant. Following
careful de novo review, we agree. See Friends of Lake View Sch. Dist. Inc. No. 25
v. Beebe, 578 F.3d 753, 758 (8th Cir. 2009) (court may affirm on any basis record
supports); see also Bell Atlantic Corp. v. Twombly, 550 U.S. 544, 554-55, 570 (2007)
(to survive motion to dismiss for failure to state claim, complaint must contain enough
facts to state claim to relief that is plausible on its face); Carter v. Arkansas, 392 F.3d
965, 968 (8th Cir. 2004) (de novo review). The judgment is affirmed. See 8th Cir.
R. 47B.
