PER CURIAM.

-- 1 of 2 --

In this employment action, Catrice Cooper and Kimberly Landy appeal after
the district court1 granted the parties’ joint motion to dismiss without judicial review.
After careful review, we conclude we lack jurisdiction over this appeal. See
Belle-Midwest v. Mo. Prop. & Cas. Ins. Guar. Ass’n, 56 F.3d 977, 978-79 (8th Cir.
1995) (generally, plaintiffs may not appeal order granting voluntary dismissal, except
where plaintiffs were legally prejudiced by conditions imposed by district court in
granting voluntary dismissal, and they did not acquiesce to conditions); see also Food
Marketing Inst. v. Argus Leader Media, 139 S. Ct. 2356, 2362 (2019) (to show
standing, appealing litigant must demonstrate it has suffered actual or imminent
injury that is fairly traceable to judgment below that could be redressed by favorable
ruling). Accordingly, we dismiss the appeal.

1The Honorable Billy Roy Wilson, United States District Judge for the Eastern
District of Arkansas.
