Abe Givins, Jr. v. James Brisco

U.S. Court of Appeals for the Eighth Circuit
Abe Givins, Jr. v. James Brisco, 515 F. App'x 624 (8th Cir. 2013)

Abe Givins, Jr. v. James Brisco

Opinion

PER CURIAM.

Abe Givins appeals the district court’s 1 preservice dismissal of his complaint, without prejudice, for lack of subject matter *625 jurisdiction. Upon careful de novo review, see LeMay v. U.S. Postal Serv., 450 F.3d 797, 799 (8th Cir. 2006) (de novo review of dismissal for lack of subject matter jurisdiction), we find no basis for reversal, see Fed.R.Civ.P. 12(h)(3) (if court determines at any time that it lacks subject matter jurisdiction, court must dismiss action); Biscanin v. Merrill Lynch & Co., 407 F.3d 905, 907 (8th Cir. 2005) (“[i]f the asserted basis of federal jurisdiction is patently meritless, then dismissal for lack of jurisdiction is appropriate”). Accordingly, we affirm. See 8th Cir. R. 47B. We also deny all of Givins’s pending motions.

. The Honorable Charles A. Shaw, United States District Judge for the Eastern District of Missouri.
