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
