PER CURIAM.

-- 1 of 2 --

Jay Nygard appeals the district court’s1 dismissal of his pro se complaint as
barred by the statute of limitations, the Rooker-Feldman2 doctrine, and the Younger3
abstention doctrine. After careful de novo review of the record and the parties’
arguments on appeal, we find no basis for reversal. See Humphrey v. Eureka Gardens
Pub. Facility Bd., 891 F.3d 1079, 1081 (8th Cir. 2018) (de novo review of whether
statute of limitations bars claims); Kvalvog v. Park Christian Sch., Inc., 66 F.4th
1147, 1151-52 (8th Cir. 2023) (de novo review of district court's lack of jurisdiction
due to Rooker-Feldman doctrine); Minn. Living Assistance, Inc. v. Peterson, 899
F.3d 548, 551 (8th Cir. 2018) (abuse of discretion review of district court's decision
to abstain under Younger).
Accordingly, we affirm. See 8th Cir. R. 47B.
