PER CURIAM.

Albert Trammell appeals the district court’s1

 dismissal of his complaint, which

was liberally construed as asserting fraud and wrongful termination under Missouri

law, and wrongful termination under 49 U.S.C. § 31105(a). After careful de novo

review, see Schaaf v. Residential Funding Corp., 517 F.3d 544, 549 (8th Cir. 2008),

we agree with the district court’s dismissal order, see 49 U.S.C. § 31105(b)(1)

(“employee alleging discharge . . . in violation of subsection (a) of this section . . .

may file a complaint with the Secretary of Labor not later than 180 days after alleged

violation occurred”), (d) (person adversely affected by order issued after hearing

under subsection (b) of this section may file petition for review in court of appeals of

United States for circuit in which violation occurred or person resided on date of

violation; order of Secretary of Labor subject to review under this subsection is not

subject to judicial review in another civil proceeding); Mo. Rev. Stat. § 516.120(4)

(five-year statute of limitations for “injury to the person or rights of another, not

arising on contract”); Larabee v. Eichler, 271 S.W.3d 542, 546 (Mo. 2008) (elements

of a fraud claim). 

Accordingly, we affirm. See 8th Cir. R. 47B. Appellees’ motion to dismiss the

appeal is denied as moot.
