PER CURIAM.
Sarai Ajai appeals the district court’s1 dismissal of her pro se complaint for
lack of jurisdiction. Having jurisdiction under 28 U.S.C. § 1291, this court affirms.
After careful review, this court finds no basis for reversal. See Chase v.
Andeavor Logistics, L.P., 12 F.4th 864, 868 (8th Cir. 2021) (standard of review for
dismissal under Fed. R. Civ. P. 12); Dodco, Inc., v. Am. Bonding Co., 7 F.3d 1387,
1388 (8th Cir. 1993) (per curiam) (court lacks jurisdiction over improperly served
defendant); Dolan v. U.S. Postal Serv., 546 U.S. 481, 484–85 (2006) (unless
otherwise waived, United States Postal Service has federal sovereign immunity,
including against allegations of lost or miscarried mail); see also Nitro Distrib., Inc.
v. Alticor, Inc., 565 F.3d 417, 428 (8th Cir. 2009) (review of denial of extension of
time to amend pleading reviewed for abuse of discretion).
The judgment is affirmed and Ajai’s pending motions are denied as moot. See
8th Cir. R. 47B.
