PER CURIAM.
       Stephen Wayne Carlson appeals the district court’s1 dismissal of his civil case,
in which he asserted a variety of claims based on events related to the assessment and
collection of his tax liabilities. Upon our careful de novo review, see Hastings v.
Wilson, 516 F.3d 1055, 1058 (8th Cir. 2008) (standard of review), we affirm for the
reasons explained by the district court. See 8th Cir. R. 47B.
                        ______________________________




      1
       The Honorable Joan N. Ericksen, United States District Judge for the District
of Minnesota, adopting the report and recommendations of the Honorable Jeffrey J.
Keyes, United States Magistrate Judge for the District of Minnesota.
