                             Kemmet v. Steiner
                               No. 20190189

Per Curiam.

[¶1] Terry Kemmet appeals from a district court judgment dismissing his
complaint against several government defendants. The defendants moved to
dismiss the complaint, arguing that the district court lacked subject matter
jurisdiction because Kemmet failed to give timely notice of his claim to the
director of the Office of Management and Budget, as required by N.D.C.C. § 32-
12.2-04. The district court granted the defendants’ motion to dismiss on several
grounds, including that it lacked subject matter jurisdiction because Kemmet’s
notice of claim was untimely under N.D.C.C. § 32-12.2-04.

[¶2] We summarily affirm under N.D.R.App.P. 35.1(a)(7). Moen v. State, 2003
ND 17, ¶ 5, 656 N.W.2d 671 (“A court lacks subject matter jurisdiction to
entertain a lawsuit in the absence of a timely filing of a notice of claim under
N.D.C.C. § 32-12.2-04(1).”)
