Mayner Pope v. Alicia Guns, 672 F. App'x 251 (4th Cir. 2016)

Mayner Pope v. Alicia Guns

Opinion

Unpublished opinions are not binding precedent in this circuit.

PER CURIAM:

Mayner J. Pope appeals the district court’s order granting the Defendant’s motion for summary judgment. We have reviewed the record and find no reversible error. Pope cannot prevail on her 42 U.S.C. § 1981 (2012) claims, as she has failed to provide evidence that her contractual rights were impacted. As to Pope’s state law negligence claim, although it appears that there is diversity between the parties, we agree with the district court’s conclusion that it lacks original jurisdiction based on the amount in controversy. Further, the district court’s decision not to exercise supplemental jurisdiction over this claim is within that court’s discretion. 28 U.S.C. § 1367(c) (2012).

Accordingly, we deny Pope’s motion to supplement the record and affirm the district court’s order. We dispense with oral argument because the facts and legal contentions are adequately presented in the materials before this court and argument would not aid the decisional process.

AFFIRMED
