226 F. App'x 441

Pulliam v. Northside Independent School District

Opinion

PER CURIAM: *

The court has carefully reviewed this appeal in light of the briefs and pertinent parts of the record. The district court correctly adopted the magistrate judge’s recommendation, which included the conclusion that Pulliam filed his lawsuit more than ninety days after he received a Right-to-Sue letter from the Equal Employment Opportunity Commission. See Taylor v. Books A Million, Inc., 296 F.3d 376, 379 (5th Cir. 2002). The court did not abuse its discretion by declining to exercise supplemental jurisdiction over the state-law claims or by denying Pulliam’s *442 request for the appointment of counsel. See Parker & Parsley Petroleum Co. v. Dresser Indus., 972 F.2d 580, 585 (5th Cir. 1992); see also Salmon v. Corpus Christi Indep. Sch. Dist., 911 F.2d 1165, 1166 (5th Cir. 1990) (per curiam).

The judgment of the district court is AFFIRMED.

*

Pursuant to 5th Cir. R. 47.5, the court has determined that this opinion should not be published and is not precedent except under the limited circumstances set forth in 5th Cir R. 47.5.4.
