The Honorable Michael J. Davis, United States District Judge for the District

of Minnesota.

-2-

Randall Enyeart and Rodney Mattmiller appeal from the district court’s2

 final

order and judgment dismissing with prejudice, under Federal Rules of Civil Procedure

12(b)(1) and 12(b)(6), their action for declaratory relief against the State of

Minnesota, two Minnesota officials, and three federal officials under 42 U.S.C.

§ 1983. Upon de novo review, see M.P. ex rel. K. & D.P. v. Indep. Sch. Dist. No.

721, 439 F.3d 865, 867 (8th Cir. 2006) (dismissal for lack of jurisdiction reviewed de

novo); Stringer v. St. James R-1 Sch. Dist., 446 F.3d 799, 802 (8th Cir. 2006)

(dismissal for failure to state claim reviewed de novo), we agree with the district

court’s well-reasoned order. We also conclude that the court did not err in dismissing

plaintiffs’ motion to realign the parties. The judgment is affirmed. See 8th Cir. R.

47B.
