Before FAGG, WOLLMAN, and MURPHY, Circuit Judges.
                               ___________

PER CURIAM.

     Richard W. Langhans appeals from the district court's1 order
dismissing his complaint for lack of subject matter jurisdiction,
in part, and for failure to state a claim, in part.            As we conclude
that the district court correctly applied well-settled principles
of law, an opinion would lack precedential value.            The judgment is
affirmed.      See 8th Cir. R. 47B.

       The Honorable George F. Gunn, Jr., United States District
Judge for the Eastern District of Missouri.
