Kenneth Emanuel Baptiste, Susanville, CA, pro se.
Richard J. Houle, Esq., Houle Houle, Pasadena, CA, for Defendants-Appellees.
Appeal from the United States District Court for the Central District of California, R. Gary Klausner, District Judge, Presiding. D.C. No. CV-02-07236-RGK.
Before: KOZINSKI, LEAVY, and BYBEE, Circuit Judges.
This disposition is not appropriate for publication and is not precedent except as provided by 9th Cir. R. 36-3.
California state prisoner Kenneth Emanuel Baptiste appeals pro se from the district court's judgment dismissing without prejudice his state law negligence claim. We review for abuse of discretion the district court's refusal to exercise supplemental jurisdiction. See Ove v. Gwinn, 264 F.3d 817, 821 (9th Cir. 2001). We affirm.
The district court did not abuse its discretion when it declined to exercise supplemental jurisdiction over Baptiste's state claims after it had granted summary judgment on all claims over which it had original jurisdiction. See 28 U.S.C. § 1367(c); cf. Bahrampour v. Lampert, 356 F.3d 969, 978 (9th Cir. 2004).
The remaining contentions lack merit.
