                                 ____________

Before LOKEN, GRUENDER, and KELLY, Circuit Judges.
                          ____________

PER CURIAM.

     Lonnie Snelling appeals after the district court1 dismissed his action raising
numerous federal and state-law claims stemming from interactions he had with

      1
        The Honorable Rodney W. Sippel, Chief Judge, United States District Court
for the Eastern District of Missouri.

                                         -2-
defendants regarding his property in St. Louis, Missouri, and denied his post-
judgment motion under Federal Rule of Civil Procedure 59(e). We review de novo
the district court’s dismissal of Snelling’s 42 U.S.C. § 1983 claims and one of his
state-law claims. See Newcombe v. United States, 
933 F.3d 915
, 917 (8th Cir. 2019);
Levy v. Ohl, 
477 F.3d 988
, 991 (8th Cir. 2007). We review for an abuse of discretion
the district court’s decision not to exercise supplemental jurisdiction over Snelling’s
state-law claims as well as its denial of Snelling’s Rule 59(e) motion. See Thompson
v. Kanabec Cnty., 
958 F.3d 698
, 708 (8th Cir. 2020); Rinchuso v. Brookshire Grocery
Co., 
944 F.3d 725
, 730 (8th Cir. 2019). Finding no error or abuse of discretion, we
affirm for the reasons stated in the district court’s thorough opinions. See 8th Cir. R.
47B.
