PER CURIAM.
Raphael Mendez appeals following the district court’s dismissal of his civil1
rights action. We agree with the district court that Mendez’s claims were barred by
sovereign immunity. See Johnson v. Outboard Marine Corp., 172 F.3d 531, 535 (8th
Cir. 1999); Buford v. Runyon, 160 F.3d 1199, 1203 (8th Cir. 1998). Accordingly, we
affirm. See 8th Cir. R. 47B.
