Jack Collins, III v. Dakota County District Court

435 F. App'x 581

Opinion

PER CURIAM.

Jack Collins III appeals the district court’s 1 dismissal of his 42 U.S.C. § 1983 complaint for lack of subject matter jurisdiction. After careful de novo review, see Great Rivers Habitat Alliance v. FEMA, 615 F.3d 985, 988 (8th Cir.2010), we 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 Eleventh Amendment immunity from § 1983 suit). Accordingly, we affirm. See 8th Cir. R. 47B.

1 . The Honorable Susan Richard Nelson, United States District Court Judge for the District of Minnesota, adopting the report and recommendations of the Honorable Arthur J. Boylan, United States Magistrate Judge for the District of Minnesota.
