Minnesota resident Fred Holland appeals the district court’s1 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.
