Case: 17-30185 Document: 00514491538 Page: 2 Date Filed: 05/30/2018

No. 17-30185 carefully reviewed the record on appeal, including the briefs of the parties and the district court’s Memorandum Ruling of February 21, 2017, in explication of its Judgment of that date. We are persuaded that summary judgment was cor- rectly granted and that the state law claims were properly dismissed.

For essentially the same reasons set out by the district court in its above- mentioned Memorandum Ruling, its Judgment is, in all respects, AFFIRMED.
