basis for reversal because, among other reasons, we agree with the district court that
it lacked subject-matter jurisdiction, see Fed. R. Civ. P. 12(b)(1); Key Med. Supply,
Inc. v. Burwell, 764 F.3d 955, 961 (8th Cir. 2014) (de novo review), as Eiler did not
raise a question of federal law or cite to a federal statute, see 28 U.S.C. § 1331, and
did not allege an amount in controversy sufficient for diversity jurisdiction, see 28
U.S.C. § 1332. Accordingly, the judgment of the district court is affirmed. See 8th
Cir. R. 47B.
