WHITSON v. MINNESOTA DEPARTMENT OF HEALTH INFECTIOUS DISEASE EPIDEMIOLOGY PREVENTION AND CONTROL DIVISION HIV STD TB UNIT (2021)

[Unpublished]

Shanasha Whitson appeals after the district court ¹ dismissed her case for lack of subject matter jurisdiction. Upon de novo review, we conclude that Whitson's complaint failed to establish either diversity or federal question jurisdiction. See Jones v. United States, 727 F.3d 844, 846 (8th Cir. 2013) (standard of review); Junk v. Terminix Int'l Co., 628 F.3d 439, 445 (8th Cir. 2010) (federal court has diversity jurisdiction only where no defendant is citizen of same state as any plaintiff); Biscanin v. Merrill Lynch & Co., Inc., 407 F.3d 905, 906 (8th Cir. 2005) (federal question jurisdiction exists when plaintiff's right to relief depends upon resolution of substantial question of federal law). Accordingly, we affirm. See 8th Cir. R. 47B.
