Before COLLOTON, BENTON, and KOBES, Circuit Judges.
                          ____________

PER CURIAM.
       Bernard Fraction appeals after the district court1 dismissed his complaint for
lack of subject matter jurisdiction. It is the plaintiff’s burden to establish the district
court’s subject matter jurisdiction, and, on appeal, we review its existence de novo.
See Newcombe v. United States, 933 F.3d 915, 917 (8th Cir. 2019). On careful
review of the record and Fraction’s arguments on appeal, we conclude that the district
court properly determined that it lacked subject matter jurisdiction to consider the
complaint.

       The judgment of the district court is affirmed. See 8th Cir. R. 47B.
                      ______________________________

        The Honorable John M. Gerrard, Chief Judge, United States District Court
