    Before RILEY, MAGILL, and MELLOY, Circuit Judges.
    ___________
    PER CURIAM.
    Steven Curtiss (Curtiss), an Iowa prisoner, appeals the district court’s1 Federal
    Rule of Civil Procedure 12(b)(6) dismissal of his civil complaint. Having conducted
    de novo review of the dismissal, and having accepted the facts in the complaint as true
    and construing them in Curtiss’s favor, see Springdale Educ. Ass’n v. Springdale Sch.
    Dist., 
    133 F.3d 649
    , 651 (8th Cir. 1998), we find the district court’s analysis to be
    1
    The Honorable Robert W. Pratt, Chief Judge, United States District Court for
    the Southern District of Iowa.
    thorough and well-reasoned, and we reject Curtiss’s arguments for reversal.
    Accordingly, we affirm. See 8th Cir. R. 47B.2
    ______________________________
    2
    We do not consider the proposed amended complaints Curtiss has filed on
    appeal. See Winthrop Res. Corp. v. Eaton Hydraulics, Inc., 
    361 F.3d 465
    , 473 (8th
    Cir. 2004) (noting the well-settled rule that documents presented for the first time on
    appeal are generally not considered part of the record for review by the appellate
    court); cf. Dorn v. State Bank of Stella, 
    767 F.2d 442
    , 443 (8th Cir. 1985) (per curiam)
    (stating the dismissal of an action ordinarily terminates the right to amend the
    complaint).
