Antwon WHITTEN, Plaintiff - Appellant, v. Atif ATYIA, Medical Doctor Lonesome Pine Hospital; Leslie Fleming, Warden Wallens Ridge State Prison; David Anderson, Major Wallens Ridge State Prison; Rebecca D. Kelly, Registered Nurse Lonesome Pine Hospital; Billie Cowden, Lab Tech Lonesome Pine Hospital; B. J. Ravizee, WRSP Institutional Ombudsman; Dr. R. Dulaney, WRSP Doctor; J. B. Messer, R.O.S.P. Institutional Ombudsman, Defendants - Appellees, Welmont Health Systems; Virginia Department of Corrections State of Va. Insurer; Virginia Department of Corrections Health Services, Defendants.
Antwon Whitten appeals the district court's order granting summary judgment to Defendants on his claims under 42 U.S.C. §§ 1983, 1985(3) (2012), declining to exercise supplemental jurisdiction over his state law claims, and dismissing those claims without prejudice. We have reviewed the record and find no reversible error. Accordingly, we affirm. Whitten v. Atyia, No. 7:17-cv-00465-JPJ-PMS, 2019 WL 1430005 (W.D. Va. Mar. 29, 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.
