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

                                           3
