    PER CURIAM.
    In this action against Regions Bank for allegedly violating the Real Estate
    Settlement Procedures Act (RESPA), 
    12 U.S.C. § 2605
    , and Missouri common law,
    George Luberda appeals the district court’s1 adverse grant of summary judgment on
    his federal claim and dismissal without prejudice of his state-law claim.
    1
    The Honorable David D. Noce, United States Magistrate Judge for the Eastern
    District of Missouri, to whom the case was referred for final disposition by consent
    of the parties pursuant to 
    28 U.S.C. § 636
    (c).
    Following careful de novo review, see Anderson v. EMC Mortg. Corp., 
    631 F.3d 905
    , 906 (8th Cir. 2011) (reviewing grant of summary judgment de novo), we
    agree with the district court that Regions Bank did not violate RESPA, see 
    12 U.S.C. § 2605
    (g) (if terms of federally related mortgage loan require borrower to make
    payments to servicer for deposit into escrow account for purpose of assuring payment
    of taxes, servicer shall make payments from escrow account in timely manner as such
    payments become due); 
    24 C.F.R. § 3500.17
    (k)(1) (if terms of any federally related
    mortgage loan require borrower to make payments to escrow account, servicer must
    pay disbursements in timely manner, that is, on or before deadline to avoid penalty,
    as long as borrower’s payment is not more than 30 days overdue). We also conclude
    that the district court did not abuse its discretion in declining to exercise jurisdiction
    over Luberda’s state-law claim. See 
    28 U.S.C. § 1367
    (c)(3) (district court may
    decline to exercise supplemental jurisdiction over claim if it has dismissed all claims
    over which it has original jurisdiction). Accordingly, we affirm the judgment. See
    8th Cir. R. 47B.
