Appeal from the United States District Court
for the Western District of Texas
No. 5:06-CV-34
Before JONES, Chief Judge, and KING and DAVIS, Circuit Judges.
PER CURIAM:*
The court has carefully reviewed this appeal in light of
the briefs and pertinent parts of the record. The district court
correctly adopted the magistrate judge’s recommendation, which
included the conclusion that Pulliam filed his lawsuit more than
ninety days after he received a Right-to-Sue letter from the Equal
Employment Opportunity Commission. See Taylor v. Books A Million,

Inc., 296 F.3d 376, 379 (5th Cir. 2002). The court did not abuse
its discretion by declining to exercise supplemental jurisdiction
over the state-law claims or by denying Pulliam’s request for the
appointment of counsel. See Parker & Parsley Petroleum Co. v.
Dresser Indus., 972 F.2d 580, 585 (5th Cir. 1992); see also Salmon
v. Corpus Christi Indep. Sch. Dist., 911 F.2d 1165, 1166 (5th Cir.
1990) (per curiam).
The judgment of the district court is AFFIRMED.
