OPINION
PER CURIAM.
Sherri Wright Buffkin appeals the district court's order (1) granting summary judgment in her former employer's favor on her claims alleging violations of Title VII of the Civil Rights Act of 1964, as amended, on the ground that she failed to exhaust her administrative remedies, and (2) declining to exercise supplemental jurisdiction over her state law claims. When the district court rendered its decision, however, that court did not have the benefit of the Supreme Court's decision in Edelman v. Lynchburg College, — U.S. -, 122 S.Ct. 1145, 152 L.Ed.2d 188 (2002) (upholding regulation permitting verification of a timely filed charge after the time for filing has expired). We therefore vacate the district court's order and remand for further proceedings under Edelman. We dispense with oral argument because the facts and legal contentions are adequately presented in the materials before the court and argument would not aid the decisional process.
VACATED AND REMANDED.
