PER CURIAM.

Former Nebraska inmate Anthony Lee Patmon appeals the district court’s1

dismissal of his 42 U.S.C. § 1983 action, which included state-law medical

malpractice claims, and the court’s denial of several discovery motions. Having

reviewed the record and the parties’ briefs, we conclude dismissal of Patmon’s

section 1983 claim was proper. See Morstad v. Dep’t of Corr. and Rehab., 147 F.3d

741, 744 (8th Cir. 1998) (dismissal for failure to state claim reviewed de novo). We

also conclude the district court did not err in denying the motions or in declining to

exercise supplemental jurisdiction over the state-law claims. See Labickas v. Ark.

State Univ., 78 F.3d 333, 334-35 (8th Cir.) (per curiam), cert. denied, 519 U.S. 968

(1996).

Accordingly, we affirm. See 8th Cir. R. 47B.
