Sec. 1981, a plaintiff must allege some sort of state action contributed to the plaintiff being discriminated against, and the district court properly dismissed plaintiff's claim as it did not plead any state action; the district court did not abuse its discretion by refusing to exercise supplemental jurisdiction over plaintiff's state law claims.
