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
