    No. 12-3441.
    United States Court of Appeals, Eighth Circuit.
    Submitted: May 16, 2013.
    Filed: May 20, 2013.
    
      Jonathan D. McDowell, McDowell & McDowell, Kansas City, MO, for Plaintiff-Appellant.
    Stephen Witsell Jones, Mika Shadid Tucker, Jack & Nelson, Jeffrey L. Spill-yards, Mitchell & Williams, Little Rock, AR, for Defendants-Appellees.
    Before WOLLMAN, BOWMAN, and GRUENDER, Circuit Judges.
   PER CURIAM.

David McDowell appeals the district court’s dismissal of his employment-discrimination action as untimely. We agree with the court that the complaint is untimely, because (1) it was filed well in excess of the applicable limitations period, see 29 U.S.C. § 626(e); Hallgren v. United States Dep’t of Energy, 331 F.3d 588, 589 (8th Cir.2003) (failure to file suit within 90 days of receiving notice of final agency action renders employment-discrimination action untimely); (2) the prior state court suit, which was removed to federal court and dismissed without prejudice, does not save the instant suit from a dismissal for untimeliness, see Gerhardson v. Gopher News. Co., 698 F.3d 1052, 1056 (8th Cir.2012); and (3) McDowell failed to demonstrate that he was entitled to equitable tolling, see Hallgren, 331 F.3d at 590.

The judgment is affirmed. See 8th Cir. R. 47B. 
      
      . The Honorable P.K. Holmes, III, Chief Judge, United States District Court for the Western District of Arkansas.
