PER CURIAM.
Jack Collins III appeals the district court’s dismissal of his 42 U.S.C. § 19831
complaint for lack of subject matter jurisdiction. After careful de novo review, see

conclude that dismissal was proper for the reasons the district court stated, see Harris
v. Mo. Court of Appeals, 787 F.2d 427, 429 (8th Cir. 1986) (state courts possess
The Honorable Susan Richard Nelson, United States District Court Judge for1
the District of Minnesota, adopting the report and recommendations of the Honorable
