PER CURIAM.
Raymond L. Semler appeals the district court’s1 dismissal of his lawsuit raising
42 U.S.C. § 1983 and state-law claims. Upon de novo review, see Allen v. Purkett,
5 F.3d 1151, 1153 (8th Cir. 1993) (per curiam), we agree with the district court that
dismissal was proper because Semler’s claims were barred by res judicata. The
judgment is affirmed. See 8th Cir. R. 47B.
