United States Court of Appeals FOR THE EIGHTH CIRCUIT ___________ No. 03-1447 ___________ David F. Leach, * * Appellant, * * Appeal from the United States v. * District Court for the * Southern District of Iowa. Mediacom, * * Appellee, * [PUBLISHED] * United States of America, * * Movant Below. * ___________ Submitted: December 10, 2003 Filed: June 28, 2004 ___________ Before RILEY, HANSEN, and SMITH, Circuit Judges. ___________ PER CURIAM.

David F. Leach appeals the district court’s1 dismissal of his complaint, purportedly brought under the Cable Communications Policy Act. See 47 U.S.C. § 521 et seq. Having carefully reviewed the record, we agree with the district court

The Honorable Harold D. Vietor, United States District Judge for the Southern District of Iowa. that there is no implied private right of action under 47 U.S.C. § 531(e), as Congress expressly gave the franchiser enforcement authority. See Alexander v. Sandoval, 532 U.S. 275, 290 (2001) (“The express provision of one method of enforcing a substantive rule suggests that Congress intended to preclude others.”) Accordingly, we affirm the judgment of the district court. See 8th Cir. R. 47B. ______________________________
