DOYLE, Judge.

       Brian Birkenholz appeals from the district court’s dismissal of his petition

for judicial review concerning his driver’s license revocation by the Iowa

Department of Transportation. The district court concluded Birkenholz failed to

file his petition for judicial review within thirty days of the agency’s final decision

as mandated by Iowa Code section 17A.19(3) (2015).

       After a careful review of the record, the briefs of the parties, and the

district court’s thorough and well-reasoned ruling, we conclude the district court’s

ruling dismissing Birkenholz’s petition should be affirmed without opinion

pursuant to Iowa Rule of Appellate Procedure 6.1203 (a), (c), and (d).

       AFFIRMED.
