PER CURIAM.


     Martin H. Tonn appeals the district court's1 Federal Rule of
Civil Procedure 12(b)(1) dismissal of his due process claim against
the United States for lack of subject matter jurisdiction.    Having
reviewed the record and the parties' briefs, we conclude that the
judgment of the district court was correct.          Accordingly, we
affirm.   See 8th Cir. R. 47B.
