Before BOWMAN, MAGILL, and LOKEN, Circuit Judges. ___________ PER CURIAM.

Lorraine Henry appeals from the district court's1 order dismissing for lack of subject matter jurisdiction Henry's tort action against attorney John K. Williamson and his law firm. Having carefully reviewed the record, we conclude that Henry has failed to establish either diversity or federal question jurisdiction. Accordingly, the judgment of the district court is affirmed, and Henry's motion for appointment of counsel is denied as moot. See 8th Cir. R. 47B.
