¶1 Jason Chavanel, Louisiana prisoner # 407939, appeals, pro se, the dismissal of his 42 U.S.C. § 1983 complaint for failure both to state a claim upon which relief can be granted and to exhaust administrative remedies. Although he renews the allegations of his complaint, Chavanel does not challenge the district court’s conclusion that his claims were barred by Heck v. Humphrey, 512 U.S. 477, 114 S.Ct. 2364, 129 L.Ed.2d 383 (1994), expiration of the limitations period, failure to state a claim upon which relief may be granted, and failure to exhaust administrative remedies.
¶2 By failing to brief any argument challenging the district court’s reasons for dismissal, Chavanel has abandoned those issues. See Yohey v. Collins, 985 F.2d 222, 224-25 (5th Cir.1993); Brinkmann v. Dal *381 las County Deputy Sheriff Abner, 818 F.2d 744, 748 (5th Cir.1987).
¶3 Chavanel contends that the district court erred in declining to exercise supplemental jurisdiction over his state-law claims. Because the district court dismissed Chavanel’s federal claims, the dismissal without prejudice of the state-law claims was not an abuse of discretion. E.g., Bass v. Parkwood Hosp., 180 F.3d 234, 246 (5th Cir. 1999).
¶4 AFFIRMED.
