PER CURIAM.

Marvin Troy Heise appeals from the district court’s1

 dismissal of his pro se civil

complaint in which he alleged that he suffered from employment discrimination in

violation of federal and state law. Upon de novo review, see Levy v. Ohl, 477 F.3d

988, 991 (8th Cir. 2007) (standard of review), we conclude that the district court

properly dismissed Heise’s complaint for the reasons stated in the court’s order.

-2-

Accordingly, we affirm the district court’s decision, see 8th Cir. R. 47B, but we

modify the dismissal of any state law claims to be without prejudice, see Labickas v.

Ark. State Univ., 78 F.3d 333, 334-35 (8th Cir. 1996) (per curiam) (following

dismissal of federal claims, district court has discretion to dismiss state law claims, but

dismissal should be without prejudice).
