PER CURIAM.

Ward Einess has been appointed to serve as Commissioner of the Minnesota
Department of Revenue, and is substituted as appellee pursuant to Federal Rule of
Appellate Procedure 43(c).
Frederick Bond appeals the district court’s2 order granting defendants’ motion
for judgment on the pleadings. Upon de novo review, see Westcott v. City of Omaha,
901 F.2d 1486, 1488 (8th Cir. 1990) (standard of review), we conclude judgment on
the pleadings in favor of defendants was proper. Accordingly, we affirm the judgment
of the district court. See 8th Cir. R. 47B.
