Minnesota resident Fred Holland appeals the district court’s 1 dismissal of his pro se complaint alleging that the U.S. Department of Veterans Affairs erroneously cut off his worker’s compensation benefits and fired him. After careful de novo review, see Riley v. United States, 486 F.3d 1030, 1031 (8th Cir. 2007) (de novo review of dismissal for lack of subject matter jurisdiction), we conclude that dismissal was appropriate for the reasons stated by the district court. Accordingly, we affirm. See 8th Cir. R. 47B.
