Before WOLLMAN, Chief Judge, MORRIS SHEPPARD ARNOLD, and BYE,
      Circuit Judges.
                           ___________

PER CURIAM.

       James L. Brooks appeals from the district court’s1 dismissal of his complaint.
Having carefully reviewed the record and the parties’ briefs, we agree with the district
court, for the reasons explained in its thorough opinion, most claims are barred by
sovereign, Eleventh Amendment, and judicial immunity, and that the complaint
otherwise fails to state a claim. Accordingly, we affirm. See 8th Cir. R. 47B.

      1
      The Honorable Richard H. Kyle, United States District Judge for the District
of Minnesota.
