Plaintiff - Appellant MAJOR LEAGUE REALTY, INCORPORATED, Defendant - Appellee Case: 15-40466 Document: 00513332551 Page: 2 Date Filed: 01/06/2016 No. 15-40466 Appeal from the United States District Court for the Eastern District of Texas Nos. 4:14-CV-77, 4:14-CV-122, 4:14-CV-131 Before DAVIS, JONES, and GRAVES, Circuit Judges. PER CURIAM:* Shelley Soniat appeals the dismissal of claims brought under federal and Texas law for alleged wrongful behavior during her attempt to rent a home. Our thorough review of the briefs, record, and applicable law reveals no error. The district court properly held that Soniat failed to state any plausible claim for relief under the Fair Housing Act, Americans with Disabilities Act, or the Fourteenth Amendment of the United States Constitution. The district court similarly did not err when it refused to exercise supplemental jurisdiction over Soniat’s remaining claims under Texas law following the dismissal of the federal claims. The judgment of the district court is AFFIRMED. Pursuant to 5TH CIR. R. 47.5, the court has determined that this opinion should not be published and is not precedent except under the limited circumstances set forth in 5TH CIR. R. 47.5.4. * 2
