PER CURIAM:

1

This matter involves a dispute between public utilities regarding who is to provide water and sewer services to an area annexed within the boundaries of the town of Southern Pines. Plaintiff-Appellant Pinehurst Enterprises, Inc.'s complaint alleged claims under Sections 1 and 2 of the Sherman Act, 15 U.S.C. Sec. 1 and Sec. 2, as well as under 42 U.S.C. Sec. 1983, 7 U.S.C. Sec. 1926, and a variety of pendent state claims. The district court, in an opinion reported at 690 F.Supp. 444 (M.D.N.C.1988), dismissed the 42 U.S.C. Sec. 1983 claims, granted summary judgement against Pinehurst Enterprises, Inc. on the remaining federal claims and dismissed the state claims for lack of pendent jurisdiction.

2

We agree with the district court's treatment of the issues and affirm for the reasons set out in its opinion.

AFFIRMED.
