PER CURIAM.
Albert D. Thomas, on behalf of himself and his minor son AGT, appeals the
district court’s1 dismissal of his pro se action for lack of subject matter jurisdiction.
Having carefully reviewed the record and considered Mr. Thomas’s arguments for
reversal, we agree with the district court’s reasons for concluding that subject matter
jurisdiction was lacking. See Riley v. United States, 486 F.3d 1030, 1031 (8th Cir.
2007) (de novo review). Accordingly, the judgment is affirmed. See 8th Cir. R. 47B.
