Alex George appeals the district court’s1 dismissal of his pro se diversity
action. Having carefully reviewed the record, we find no basis for reversal. See
1
The Honorable John M. Gerrard, Chief Judge, United States District Court for
the District of Nebraska.
Wallace v. Wallace, 736 F.3d 764, 766-67 (8th Cir. 2013) (existence of subject matter
jurisdiction is reviewed de novo; federal suit is inextricably intertwined with state
domestic proceeding where effect of remedy in federal suit is to modify, nullify, or
predetermine ruling of state proceeding); Kahn v. Kahn, 21 F.3d 859, 861-62 (8th Cir.
1994) (when cause of action closely relates to but does not precisely fit into the
contours of an action for divorce, federal courts will generally abstain from exercising
jurisdiction). Accordingly, we affirm. See 8th Cir. R. 47B.
