UNPUBLISHED UNITED STATES COURT OF APPEALS FOR THE FOURTH CIRCUIT No. 17-2162 CLARENCE B. JENKINS, JR., Plaintiff - Appellant, v. SOUTH CAROLINA HUMAN AFFAIRS COMMISSION, Defendant - Appellee. Appeal from the United States District Court for the District of South Carolina, at Columbia. Terry L. Wooten, Chief District Judge. (3:16-cv-03255-TLW) Submitted: November 21, 2017 Decided: November 27, 2017 Before WYNN and THACKER, Circuit Judges, and HAMILTON, Senior Circuit Judge. Affirmed by unpublished per curiam opinion. Clarence B. Jenkins, Jr., Appellant Pro Se. Eugene Matthews, RICHARDSON PLOWDEN, Columbia, South Carolina, for Appellee. Unpublished opinions are not binding precedent in this circuit. PER CURIAM: Clarence B. Jenkins, Jr., appeals the district court’s order accepting the recommendation of the magistrate judge, dismissing Jenkins’ 42 U.S.C. § 1983 (2012) claims, declining to exercise supplemental jurisdiction over the remaining state law claims, and remanding the remaining claims back to state court. See 28 U.S.C. § 1367(c) (2012). Jenkins’ objections were sufficient to preserve appellate review but we nonetheless affirm on the merits. Jenkins v. S.C. Human Affairs Comm’n, No. 3:16-cv-03255-TLW (D.S.C. Sept. 12, 2017). We grant leave to proceed in forma pauperis. We dispense with oral argument because the facts and legal contentions are adequately presented in the materials before this court and argument would not aid the decisional process. AFFIRMED 2
