   U.S. Court of Appeals Case No:  04-2797
   District of Minnesota   
   [PUBLISHED] [Loken, Author, with Riley and Smith, Circuit Judges] 
   Civil case - Civil rights. Plaintiff's Section 1983 claims were colorable, 
   and the district court had original jurisdiction to determine whether they 
   had merit; thus, the district court's rejection of plaintiff's federal claims 
   may only be upheld as a dismissal on the merits, which means that the 
   order remanding her pendent claims to state court was an exercise of the 
   court's jurisdiction under 28 U.S.C. Sec. 1367, which this court has 
   jurisdiction to review; district court did not err in dismissing plaintiff's 
   Section 1983 claims, as her substantive and procedural due process 
   claims were barred, as was her Fourth Amendment claim; district court 
   did not err in remanding state law claims; however, the remand order 
   must be modified in so far as it included plaintiff's Section 1983 claims 
   since those claims must be dismissed.
