[UNPUBLISHED]


Randall Enyeart and Rodney Mattmiller appeal from the district court's final order and judgment dismissing with prejudice, under Federal Rules of Civil Procedure 12(b)(1) and 12(b)(6), their action for declaratory relief against the State of Minnesota, two Minnesota officials, and three federal officials under 42 U.S.C. § 1983. Upon de novo review, see M.P. ex rel. K. D.P. v. Zndep. Sch. Dist. No. 721, 439 F.3d 865, 867 (8th Cir. 2006) (dismissal for lack of jurisdiction reviewed de novo); Stringer v. St. James R-1 Sch. Dist., 446 F.3d 799, 802 (8th Cir. 2006) (dismissal for failure to state claim reviewed de novo), we agree with the district court's well-reasoned order. We also conclude that the court did not err in dismissing plaintiffs' motion to realign the parties. The judgment is affirmed. See 8th Cir. R. 47B.

The Honorable Michael J. Davis, United States District Judge for the District of Minnesota.
