Before COLLOTON, BEAM, and BENTON, Circuit Judges.
                           ___________

PER CURIAM.

       James Hull appeals following the district court’s1 grant of defendants’ motion
to dismiss his diversity action for lack of subject matter jurisdiction. Upon our careful
review of the record, see Osborn v. United States, 918 F.2d 724, 730 (8th Cir. 1990)
(standard of review), we agree with the district court that it appears to a legal certainty
that the amount in controversy in Hull’s action does not exceed $75,000, see 28
U.S.C. § 1332(a) (district courts shall have original jurisdiction of all civil actions


      1
      The Honorable Donovan W. Frank, United States District Judge for the District
of Minnesota, to whom the case was referred for disposition by consent of the parties
pursuant to 28 U.S.C. § 636(c).
where matter in controversy exceeds sum or value of $75,000); Trimble v. Asarco,
Inc., 232 F.3d 946, 959 (8th Cir. 2000) (district court must dismiss action if it appears
to legal certainty that value of claim is less than $75,000).

      Accordingly, we affirm. See 8th Cir. R. 47B. We also deny Hull’s motion to
supplement the record.
                       ______________________________
