Antwon Whitten, Appellant Pro Se. James Noe Lucas Humphreys, HUNTER, SMITH & DAVIS, LLP, Kingsport, Tennessee; Rebecca Joyce Ketchie, Andrew Todd Wampler, WILSON WORLEY, PC, Kingsport, Tennessee; Susan A. Waddell, GUYNN WADDELL CARROLL & LOCKABY, P.C., Salem, Virginia, for Appellees.

Unpublished opinions are not binding precedent in this circuit.

PER CURIAM: Antwon Whitten appeals the district court’s order granting summary judgment to Defendants on his claims under 42 U.S.C. §§ 1983, 1985(3) (2012), declining to exercise supplemental jurisdiction over his state law claims, and dismissing those claims without prejudice. We have reviewed the record and find no reversible error. Accordingly, we affirm. Whitten v. Atyia, No. 7:17-cv-00465-JPJ-PMS (W.D. Va. Mar. 29, 2019). 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
