PER CURIAM.
Joeffre Kolosky appeals the district court’s 1 dismissal of his diversity action in
which he alleged that Nationwide Life Insurance Company improperly denied
coverage under an insurance contract. After careful de novo review, see Banks v. Int’l
Union Elec., Elec., Technical, Salaried & Mach. Workers, 390 F.3d 1049, 1052 (8th
Cir. 2004), we conclude that dismissal of the suit on Minnesota-law res judicata

209, 220 (Minn. 2007) (res judicata factors).
Accordingly, we affirm. See 8th Cir. R. 47B.
