PER CURIAM.

-- 1 of 2 --

In this 42 U.S.C. § 1983 action, Missouri inmate Darrell Woods appeals from
the order of the District Court granting summary judgment to defendant prison1
officials on his First and Eighth Amendment claims and declining to exercise
supplemental jurisdiction over his state-law claims. We have reviewed the record
de novo, and we see no reversible error in the decision to grant summary judgment
on Woods’s § 1983 claims. See Townsend v. Murphy, 898 F.3d 780, 783 (8th Cir.
2018) (standard of review). We also conclude that the District Court did not abuse
its discretion in declining to exercise supplemental jurisdiction over Woods’s state-
law claims. See 28 U.S.C. § 1367(c); Crest Constr. II, Inc. v. Doe, 660 F.3d 346, 359
(8th Cir. 2011) (standard of review). Accordingly, we affirm.

The Honorable Catherine D. Perry, United States District Judge for the Eastern1
District of Missouri.
