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.
