PER CURIAM.
Mark Koch appeals from the order of the District Court1 granting defendants’
motion to dismiss for lack of jurisdiction.
After de novo review, we conclude that the District Court properly dismissed
the complaint. See Skit Int’l, Ltd. v. DAC Techs. of Ark., Inc.,
487 F.3d 1154, 1156
(8th Cir.) (standard of review), cert. denied,
552 U.S. 991 (2007). Koch’s filings
clearly indicate that he brought the instant suit seeking to overturn a previously
entered state-court judgment, and the District Court correctly concluded that it had
no jurisdiction. See Dodson v. Univ. of Ark. for Med. Scis.,
601 F.3d 750, 754 (8th
Cir. 2010) (per curiam) (noting that federal courts generally have no subject matter
jurisdiction to consider appeals from state-court judgments), cert. denied,
562 U.S.
1135 (2011). We affirm the judgment and deny Koch’s motions to supplement the
record.
