Before MELLOY, LAY, and COLLOTON, Circuit Judges.
                           ___________
PER CURIAM.

      Plaintiff has filed an appeal from the dismissal of his claim against his wife (or
former wife). The district court found it had no jurisdiction to entertain such a claim
and dismissed the case with prejudice.

      After carefully reviewing the record, we affirm the district court’s ruling and
dismiss the appeal on the grounds stated in the district court’s order dated February 2,
2004. See 8th. Cir. R. 47B.
