Before McMILLIAN, BEAM, and MORRIS SHEPPARD ARNOLD, Circuit Judges.
                             ___________

PER CURIAM.

      Flo Tillman appeals from the district court's1 order granting summary judgment
to defendants on her pendent state law claims, after the court granted summary
judgment on her claim under the Age Discrimination in Employment Act (ADEA), 29
U.S.C. §§ 621 et seq. Contrary to Tillman's assertion, it was within the district court’s


      1
        The Honorable Dean Whipple, United States District Judge for the Western
District of Missouri.
discretion to retain supplemental jurisdiction over Tillman’s state law claims after
dismissing her ADEA claim. See 28 U.S.C. §§ 1367(a), (c)(3); Murray v. Wal-Mart,
Inc., 
874 F.2d 555
, 558 (8th Cir. 1989). After carefully reviewing the record, and
Tillman's arguments on appeal, we conclude the district court's decision on Tillman's
emotional distress claim was correct, and that an extended discussion is not warranted.
Accordingly, we affirm. See 8th Cir. R. 47B.

      A true copy.

             Attest:

                     CLERK, U. S. COURT OF APPEALS, EIGHTH CIRCUIT.
