Scheckel v. Iowa Department of Revenue & Finance
Scheckel v. Iowa Department of Revenue & Finance
Opinion
Elmer P. Scheckel appeals the district court’s 1 dismissal with prejudice of his civil complaint. Mr. Scheckel sought various kinds of injunctive relief, including a refund of all state income taxes paid to the State of Iowa and an injunction against tax collection. Having carefully reviewed the record, we conclude dismissal was proper. See 28 U.S.C. § 1341 (Tax Injunction Act); Iowa Code §§ 421.10, 421.60, 422.28, 422.29 (2003) (providing procedures for challenging state taxes); Rosewell v. LaSalle Nat’l Bank, 450 U.S. 503, 512, 101 S.Ct. 1221, 67 L.Ed.2d 464 (1981) (Tax Injunction Act bars federal jurisdiction where state law provides certain minimal procedures for challenging state taxes); see also Fair Assessment in Real Estate Ass’n v. McNary, 454 U.S. 100, 107-08, 102 S.Ct. 177, 70 L.Ed.2d 271 (1981).
*517 Accordingly, we affirm. See 8th Cir. R. 47B.
. The Honorable Linda R. Reade, United States District Judge for the Northern District of Iowa.
