Submitted: October 27, 1999 Filed: October 29, 1999 ___________

Before BEAM, LOKEN, and MORRIS SHEPPARD ARNOLD, Circuit Judges. ___________

PER CURIAM.

Roy Duane Reha appeals the district court&s1 order dismissing his complaint, in which Reha complained of a state supreme court&s handling of his state court appeal. Having carefully reviewed the record and Reha&s submissions, we conclude that the district court properly dismissed the complaint for lack of subject matter jurisdiction for the reasons stated in the court&s order, and did not abuse its discretion in denying Reha&s motion for reconsideration. Accordingly, we affirm. See 8th Cir. R. 47B.
