ORDER AND JUDGMENT
  
   *
  

  MONROE G. McKAY, Circuit Judge.
 

  After examining the briefs and the appellate record, this panel has determined unanimously that oral argument would not materially assist in the determination of this appeal.
  
   See
  
  Fed. RApp. P. 84(a)(2); 10th Cir. R. 34.1(G). This case is therefore ordered submitted without oral argument.
 

   Pro se
  
  Plaintiff, Mr. Matthew Alan Smith, filed this action challenging the State of Colorado’s failure to grant him unemployment benefits. The trial court dismissed the action
  
   sua sponte
  
  because of lack of subject matter jurisdiction.
 

  After reviewing the complaint and the trial court’s order, we conclude the trial court was correct. We therefore affirm for the reasons given by the trial court in its excellent and thorough order of dismissal.
 

  The trial court denied plaintiff leave to proceed on appeal
  
   informa pauperis.
  
  We deny his renewed petition.
 

  The district court order dismissing the complaint and action is AFFIRMED. The appellee’s motion to take judicial notice is GRANTED.

   This order and judgment is not binding precedent, except under the doctrines of law of the case, res judicata, and collateral estoppel. It may be cited, however, for its persuasive value consistent with Fed. R.App. P. 32.1 and 10th Cir. R. 32.1.
