2 PER CURIAM:

Dr. Marla Crawford, along with Kandise Lucas and Toni Hunter-Davis, filed a civil

complaint asserting federal statutory claims, federal civil rights claims, and state law claims

against the Henrico County Public School Board, Superintendent Patrick Kinlaw, Principal

Kirk Eggleston, the Henrico County Police Department, Henrico County Police Chief

Humberto Cardounel, Sergeant Crook, Henrico County Commonwealth’s Attorney

Shannon Taylor, Assistant Commonwealth’s Attorney Tania Kregar, and Henrico County

District Court Judge L. Neil Steverson. After the district court dismissed the complaint in

its entirety, we affirmed the dismissal of the federal statutory claims as to all defendants

and the federal civil rights claims against Taylor, Kregar, and Steverson. We vacated the

dismissal of the civil rights claims as to the other Defendants and the dismissal of the state

law claims, and remanded to the district court for further proceedings.

On remand, Defendants renewed their motions to dismiss all of the claims. The

district court granted those motions and dismissed the remaining federal claims with

prejudice. Having dismissed the federal claims, the district court declined to exercise

supplemental jurisdiction over the state law claims. See

28 U.S.C. § 1367

(c)(3). The

district court also denied as moot Crawford’s motion to sever her claims from those of

Lucas and Hunter-Davis. We have reviewed the record and find no reversible error. We

therefore affirm for the reasons stated by the district court. Lucas v. Henrico Cnty. Sch.

Bd., No. 3:18-cv-00402-HEH (E.D. Va. Nov. 6, 2019). We dispense with oral argument

3 Because the facts and legal contentions are adequately presented in the materials before

this court and argument would not aid the decisional process.
