PER CURIAM.
       Michael Sayen appeals the district court’s1 dismissal of his pro se 42 U.S.C.
§ 1983 action. After careful review of the record and the parties’ arguments on
appeal, we conclude that dismissal was proper. See Mireles v. Waco, 

, 11-
12 (1991) (per curiam) (discussing judicial immunity); see also Lance v. Dennis, 

, 463 (2006) (lower federal courts are precluded from exercising appellate
jurisdiction over final state court judgments). Accordingly, we affirm. See 8th Cir.
R. 47B.
                        ______________________________




      1
      The Honorable Nancy E. Brasel, United States District Judge for the District
of Minnesota, adopting the report and recommendations of the Honorable Hildy
Bowbeer, United States Magistrate Judge for the District of Minnesota.
