Jason Stennes appeals following the district court’s 1 order dismissing his civil complaint with prejudice and denying as moot his motion for temporary injunctive relief. For reversal, Mr. Stennes renews his argument from below that the district court lacked subject matter jurisdiction over this matter, and that the district court also lacked authority to refer his motion for a temporary injunction, and the motions to dismiss filed by defendants, to a magistrate judge. For the reasons explained by the district court, we agree with the court that it had both subject matter jurisdiction and authority to refer the motions at issue to a magistrate judge for recommendation. See 28 U.S.C. §§ 1381, 636(b)(1).

Accordingly, we affirm. See 8th Cir. R. 47B.
