Da v. d F. LEACH, Appellant,

PER CURIAM.

David F. Leach appeals the district court's dismissal of his complaint, purportedly brought under the Cable Communications Policy Act. See 47 U.S.C. § 521 et seq. Having carefully reviewed the record, we agree with the district court that there is no implied private right of action under 47 U.S.C. § 531(e), as Congress expressly gave the franchiser enforcement authority. See Alexander v. Sandoval, 532 U.S. 275, 290, 121 S.Ct. 1511, 149 L.Ed.2d 517 (2001) ("The express provision of one method of enforcing a substantive rule suggests that Congress intended to preclude others.") Accordingly, we affirm the judgment of the district court. See 8th Cir. R. 47B.

The Honorable Harold D. Vietor, United States District Judge for the Southern District of Iowa.
