Before MURPHY, SMITH, and SHEPHERD, Circuit Judges.
                            ___________

PER CURIAM.

       James E. Thompson, Sr., appeals the district court’s1 dismissal of his civil
action without prejudice for lack of subject matter jurisdiction. Upon careful review
of the record, we conclude that Thompson established neither diversity jurisdiction
nor federal-question jurisdiction. See 28 U.S.C. §§ 1331, 1332(a)(1); 4:20
Communication, Inc. v. Paradigm Co., 336 F.3d 775, 779 (8th Cir. 2003) (party

      1
       The Honorable Richard H. Battey, United States District Judge for the District
of South Dakota.
invoking federal jurisdiction has burden to establish jurisdictional requirements).
Accordingly, we affirm. See 8th Cir. R. 47B. We also deny Thompson’s pending
motion.
