PER CURIAM.
Carol Stephens appeals the district court’s1 dismissal of her civil action against
the Estate of Raymond Clifford Ulmer. After de novo review, see Charchenko v. City
of Stillwater, 47 F.3d 981, 982-83 (8th Cir. 1995), we conclude that the district court
properly dismissed Stephens’s action for lack of subject matter jurisdiction. We
1
The Honorable Franklin L. Noel, United States Magistrate Judge for the
District of Minnesota, to whom the case was referred for final disposition by consent
of the parties pursuant to 28 U.S.C. § 636(c).
decline to address the issues Stephens raises for the first time on appeal. See
Alexander v. Pathfinder, Inc., 189 F.3d 735, 742 (8th Cir. 1999).
Accordingly, we affirm the judgment of the district court. See 8th Cir. R. 47B.
