Appellate Case: 15-2309 Page: 1 Date Filed: 02/24/2016 Entry ID: 4370465 
Minnesota resident Fred Holland appeals the district court’s dismissal of his

1

pro se complaint alleging that the U.S. Department of Veterans Affairs erroneously

cut off his worker’s compensation benefits and fired him. After careful de novo

review, see Riley v. United States, 486 F.3d 1030, 1031 (8th Cir. 2007) (de novo

review of dismissal for lack ofsubject matter jurisdiction), we conclude that dismissal

was appropriate for the reasons stated by the district court. Accordingly, we affirm. 

See 8th Cir. R. 47B.

Thorson, United States Magistrate Judge for the District of Minnesota.
