                                 ____________

Before WOLLMAN, BOWMAN, and GRUENDER, Circuit Judges.
                       ____________

PER CURIAM.
      Abe Givins appeals the district court’s1 preservice dismissal of his complaint,
without prejudice, for lack of subject matter jurisdiction. Upon careful de novo
review, see LeMay v. U.S. Postal Serv., 450 F.3d 797, 799 (8th Cir. 2006) (de novo
review of dismissal for lack of subject matter jurisdiction), we find no basis for
reversal, see Fed. R. Civ. P. 12(h)(3) (if court determines at any time that it lacks
subject matter jurisdiction, court must dismiss action); Biscanin v. Merrill Lynch &
Co., 407 F.3d 905, 907 (8th Cir. 2005) (“[i]f the asserted basis of federal jurisdiction
is patently meritless, then dismissal for lack of jurisdiction is appropriate”).
Accordingly, we affirm. See 8th Cir. R. 47B. We also deny all of Givins’s pending
motions.
                        ______________________________

      1
       The Honorable Charles A. Shaw, United States District Judge for the Eastern
District of Missouri.
