PER CURIAM.
Gerald Richter appeals the district court’s1 dismissal of his pro se civil action
raising claims related to a prior Minnesota state-court judgment. Upon carefully
reviewing the record and the parties’ arguments on appeal, we find no basis for
reversal. See Gisslen v. City of Crystal, Minn., 345 F.3d 624, 626-27 (8th Cir. 2003)
(standard of review; district courts have no authority to review state-court decisions
because federal jurisdiction to review state-court judgments is vested exclusively in
United States Supreme Court). Accordingly, we affirm. See 8th Cir. R. 47B.
