When federal constitutional claims were added, the matter was removed to federal court. Sixteen months later, after ample discovery and numerous pleadings, the district court issued a sufficiently comprehensive order, addressing the pertinent issues, that granted summary judgment for the defendants on all the federal claims and remanded to state court on any remaining claims under state law. We have examined the briefs and pertinent portions of the record, have reviewed the applicable law, and have heard the arguments of counsel. The plaintiff has not shown any federal constitutional violation or any other actionable wrong. The judgment is AFFIRMED, essentially for the reasons ably stated by the district court. The appellant’s motion to strike is DENIED. 2
