                               ___________

Before WOLLMAN, COLLOTON, and BENTON, Circuit Judges.
                        ___________

PER CURIAM.
       Marlene Fearing appeals the district court’s1 dismissal of a complaint wherein
Fearing and three business entities asserted claims under 42 U.S.C. § 1983 and state
law. The business entities were dismissed from this appeal after they failed to respond
to a show-cause order related to the need for appellate counsel. Thus, the only issue
that remains is the dismissal without prejudice of Fearing’s state-law claims, over
which the district court declined to exercise supplemental jurisdiction, see 28 U.S.C.
§ 1367(c)(3), and we find no abuse of discretion, see Gibson v. Weber, 433 F.3d 642,
647 (8th Cir. 2006) (standard of review). Accordingly, we affirm. See 8th Cir. R.
47B.
                        ______________________________

      ¹The Honorable Joan N. Ericksen, United States District Judge for the District
of Minnesota.
