PER CURIAM.

Reginald Watson appeals the district court’s1

 dismissal of his civil action in

which he sought an order compelling the Missouri Division of Employment Security

to pay him unemployment compensation. After careful de novo review, see LeMay

v. U.S. Postal Serv., 450 F.3d 797, 799 (8th Cir. 2006), we conclude that dismissal

was proper, see Pennhurst State Sch. & Hosp. v. Halderman, 465 U.S. 89, 100 (1984)

federal court). Accordingly, we affirm. See 8th Cir. R. 47B.
