PER CURIAM.
Charles A. Aldrich appeals from the district court’s1 dismissal of his civil
action arising out of Aldrich’s child-support obligations, and the court’s imposition
of Federal Rule of Civil Procedure 11 sanctions.
1
The Honorable Paul A. Magnuson, United States District Court Judge for the
District of Minnesota.
Upon de novo review, we affirm the district court’s dismissal for lack of
subject matter jurisdiction for the reasons that the district court explained, see
Lemonds v. St. Louis County, 222 F.3d 488, 492-93 (8th Cir. 2000), cert. denied, 531
U.S. 1183 (2001), and we find no abuse of discretion in the imposition of Rule 11
sanctions given the frivolousness of this lawsuit.
Accordingly, we affirm the judgment of the district court. See 8th Cir. R. 47B.
