• Status: Unpublished

Opinion

PER CURIAM.

Erin Eiler appeals the district court’s 1 dismissal of her pro se complaint alleging medical malpractice, libel, and slander. Upon careful review, we find no basis for reversal because, among other reasons, we agree with the district court that it lacked subject-matter jurisdiction, see Fed. R. Civ. P. 12(b)(1); Key Med. Supply, Inc. v. Burwell, 764 F.3d 955, 961 (8th Cir. 2014) (de novo review), as Eiler did not raise a question of federal law or cite to a federal statute, see 28 U.S.C. § 1331, and did not allege an amount in controversy sufficient for diversity jurisdiction, see 28 U.S.C. § 1332. Accordingly, the judgment of the district court is affirmed. See 8th Cir. R. 47B.

1 . The Honorable Lawrence L. Piersol, United States District Judge for the District of South Dakota.
