PER CURIAM.
South Dakota resident Rudy Stanko appeals the district court’s1 dismissal of
his civil rights action against a tribal agency and individual tribal officials. Stanko
alleged that defendants violated his constitutional rights; violated the Indian Civil
Rights Act, and engaged in assault, battery, and theft following a traffic stop on a
federally-maintained highway on the reservation. After de novo review, we affirm
for the reasons stated by the district court. See 8th Cir. R. 47B.
