PER CURIAM:

       Kandise Lucas and Toni Hunter-Davis, along with Dr. Marla Crawford, filed a civil

complaint asserting federal statutory claims, federal civil rights claims, and state law claims

against Henrico County Public School Board, Superintendent Patrick Kinlaw, Principal

Kirk Eggleston, the Henrico County Police Department, Henrico County Police Chief

Humberto Cardounel, Sergeant Crook, Henrico County Commonwealth’s Attorney

Shannon Taylor, Assistant Commonwealth’s Attorney Tania Kregar, and Henrico County

District Court Judge L. Neil Steverson. After the district court dismissed the complaint in

its entirety, we affirmed the dismissal of the federal statutory claims as to all Defendants

and the federal civil rights claims against Taylor, Kregar, and Steverson. We vacated the

dismissal of the civil rights claims as to the other Defendants and the dismissal of the state

law claims, and remanded to the district court for further proceedings.

       On remand, Defendants renewed their motions to dismiss all of the claims. The

district court granted those motions and dismissed the remaining federal claims with

prejudice. Having dismissed the federal claims, the district court declined to exercise

supplemental jurisdiction over the state law claims. See 28 U.S.C. § 1367(c)(3). Lucas

and Hunter-Davis noted this appeal. We have reviewed the record and find no reversible

error. We therefore affirm for the reasons stated by the district court. Lucas v. Henrico

Cnty. Sch. Bd., No. 3:18-cv-00402-HEH (E.D. Va. Nov. 6, 2019). 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
