PER CURIAM.
Reginald Watson appeals the district court’s1 dismissal of his civil action in
which he sought an order compelling the Missouri Division of Employment Security
to pay him unemployment compensation. After careful de novo review, see LeMay
v. U.S. Postal Serv., 450 F.3d 797, 799 (8th Cir. 2006), we conclude that dismissal
was proper, see Pennhurst State Sch. & Hosp. v. Halderman, 465 U.S. 89, 100 (1984)

The Honorable Carol E. Jackson, United States District Judge for the Eastern
District of Missouri.
(Eleventh Amendment bars suits against unconsenting states and their agencies in
federal court). Accordingly, we affirm. See 8th Cir. R. 47B.
