Appeal from United States District Court for the Eastern District of Missouri - St. Louis ____________

Before BENTON, SHEPHERD, and KELLY, Circuit Judges. ____________

PER CURIAM. Eric Lougin and Francesco Russo appeal the district court’s order in their pro se complaint raising claims under 42 U.S.C. §§ 1983 and 1985, as well as state law, in which the district court dismissed the federal claims and remanded the state law claims to state court. Having carefully reviewed the record and the parties’ arguments on appeal, we conclude the court properly dismissed the federal claims. See Plymouth Cty. v. Merscorp, Inc., 774 F.3d 1155, 1158 (8th Cir. 2014) (de novo review of dismissal order). Accordingly, the judgment is affirmed as to the dismissal of the federal claims. We vacate the order remanding the state law claims to state court, however, as the case did not originate in state court; and we instruct the district court to enter an order dismissing the state law claims without prejudice. ______________________________
