PER CURIAM.
Teresa Lorenz appeals from an order of the District Court1 granting defendants’
motions to dismiss and for summary judgment in this removed action for breach of
contract and slander of title, which arose from the sale and assignment of Lorenz’s
home mortgage. After de novo review, we affirm for the reasons explained in the
District Court’s thorough opinion.2 See Plymouth Cty. v. Merscorp, Inc., 774 F.3d
1155, 1158 (8th Cir. 2014) (reviewing de novo a dismissal for failure to state a
claim); Beaulieu v. Ludeman, 690 F.3d 1017, 1024 (8th Cir. 2012) (reviewing
de novo an order granting summary judgment); see also 8th Cir. R. 47B.

District of Minnesota.

Because Lorenz failed to file with the District Court objections to the
Magistrate Judge’s order denying in part leave to amend the complaint, that order is
not properly before us. See Fed. R. Civ. P. 72(a); Daley v. Marriott Int’l, Inc., 415
F.3d 889, 893 n.9 (8th Cir. 2005).
