PER CURIAM.

       Erin Eiler appeals the district court’s1 dismissal of her pro se complaint
alleging medical malpractice, libel, and slander. Upon careful review, we find no

      1
       The Honorable Lawrence L. Piersol, United States District Judge for the
District of South Dakota.
basis for reversal because, among other reasons, we agree with the district court that
it lacked subject-matter jurisdiction, see Fed. R. Civ. P. 12(b)(1); Key Med. Supply,
Inc. v. Burwell, 
764 F.3d 955
, 961 (8th Cir. 2014) (de novo review), as Eiler did not
raise a question of federal law or cite to a federal statute, see 28 U.S.C. § 1331, and
did not allege an amount in controversy sufficient for diversity jurisdiction, see 28
U.S.C. § 1332. Accordingly, the judgment of the district court is affirmed. See 8th
Cir. R. 47B.
