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
