MEMORANDUM **
Emeil Kamel appeals the district court’s grant of summary judgment in favor of Equilon Enterprises, LLC, on Kamel’s Petroleum Marketing Practices Act (“PMPA”) claims. Kamel also appeals the district court’s refusal to exercise supplemental jurisdiction over his state law claims. We have jurisdiction pursuant to 28 U.S.C. § 1291, and we affirm.
As a threshold matter, we grant in part and deny in part Kamel’s motion for judicial notice. Parties may not modify the record on appeal unless something material is omitted from or misstated in the record by error or accident.1 We will take judicial notice of the 1999 memorandum of this court.2 We decline to take judicial notice of the remaining documents.
Viewing the evidence in the light most favorable to Kamel, a reasonable trier of fact could not conclude3 that Equilon either failed to act in good faith, or to offer Kamel a valid right of first refusal in 2003.4
The district court did not abuse its discretion5 when it refused to exercise supplemental jurisdiction over Kamel’s state law claims.6
AFFIRMED.
