Before BOWMAN, MAGILL, and LOKEN, Circuit Judges.

                                     ___________

PER CURIAM.

     Swanson Farms appeals the district court's1 grant of summary judgment
for lack of subject matter jurisdiction.           We conclude that, although the
district court should have dismissed the case under Federal Rule of Civil
Procedure 12(b)(1) (lack of subject matter jurisdiction) rather than
through summary judgment, the case was properly dismissed.           Accordingly,
we affirm the judgment of the

     1
      The Honorable Howard F. Sachs, United States District Judge
for the Western District of Missouri.
district court.   See 8th Cir. R. 47(b).

     A true copy.

           Attest:

                  CLERK, U.S. COURT OF APPEALS, EIGHTH CIRCUIT.
