PER CURIAM:
Mayner J. Pope appeals the district court’s order granting
the Defendant’s motion for summary judgment. We have reviewed
the record and find no reversible error. Pope cannot prevail on
her 42 U.S.C. § 1981 (2012) claims, as she has failed to provide
evidence that her contractual rights were impacted. As to
Pope’s state law negligence claim, although it appears that
there is diversity between the parties, we agree with the
district court’s conclusion that it lacks original jurisdiction
based on the amount in controversy. Further, the district
court’s decision not to exercise supplemental jurisdiction over
this claim is within that court’s discretion. 28 U.S.C.
§ 1367(c) (2012).
Accordingly, we deny Pope’s motion to supplement the record
and affirm the district court’s order. 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
