                      Per Curiam.   Upon de novo review we agree with the
                      __________         __ ____



            district court's decision to  dismiss the complaint  because,



            even  with plaintiff's  amendments,  it  fails to  articulate



            facts sufficient to sustain a cognizable claim.  The judgment



            is affirmed and  modified to reflect  that the state  claims,
               ________      ________



            and any  unexhausted  claims within  the  exclusive  original



            jurisdiction  of  an  administrative  agency,  are  dismissed



            without prejudice.



                      Affirmed as modified.
