                                 ____________

                            Submitted: July 3, 2013

                                [Unpublished]
                                ____________

Before BYE, ARNOLD, and SHEPHERD, Circuit Judges.
                           ____________
PER CURIAM.

       Jason Stennes appeals following the district court’s1 order dismissing his civil
complaint with prejudice and denying as moot his motion for temporary injunctive
relief. For reversal, Mr. Stennes renews his argument from below that the district
court lacked subject matter jurisdiction over this matter, and that the district court also
lacked authority to refer his motion for a temporary injunction, and the motions to
dismiss filed by defendants, to a magistrate judge. For the reasons explained by the
district court, we agree with the court that it had both subject matter jurisdiction and
authority to refer the motions at issue to a magistrate judge for recommendation. See
28 U.S.C. §§ 1331, 636(b)(1).

      Accordingly, we affirm. See 8th Cir. R. 47B.
                     ______________________________

      1
        The Honorable Susan Richard Nelson, United States District Judge for the
District of Minnesota, adopting the report and recommendations of the Honorable
Arthur J. Boylan, United States Magistrate Judge for the District of Minnesota.
