Before MURPHY, COLLOTON, and GRUENDER, Circuit Judges.
____________
PER CURIAM.
Barbara Brown appeals the district court’s1 dismissal, with prejudice, of her
complaint arising out of a 2005 motor-vehicle accident, which was the subject of a
lawsuit she brought in Missouri state court in 2007. The district court, adopting the
report and recommendations of the magistrate judge, concluded that Brown’s
complaint was barred under the Rooker-Feldman doctrine, see D.C. Ct. of App. v.
Feldman,
460 U.S. 462 (1983); Rooker v. Fid. Trust Co.,
263 U.S. 413 (1923), and
that, in any event, it was time-barred. Upon careful de novo review, we agree that the
complaint was barred by the statute of limitations and affirm on that basis. See 8th
Cir. R. 47B.
