Before HANSEN, MORRIS SHEPPARD ARNOLD, MURPHY, Circuit Judges.
                           ___________

PER CURIAM.

     Billy Orr, an African American, appeals the district court's1
grant of summary judgment to Kirkwood School District in his
employment discrimination suit.       After de novo review, we affirm
the district court's decision with regard to Orr's federal claims.
See 8th Cir. R. 47B.     As to Orr's state-law claims, we modify the
district court's order to reflect that they are dismissed without




     The Honorable Carol E. Jackson, United States District Judge
for the Eastern District of Missouri.
prejudice.    See Labickas v. Arkansas State Univ., 78 F.3d 333, 334-
35 (8th Cir.) (per curiam), cert. denied, 117 S. Ct. 395 (1996).
