Before TORRUELLA, Chief Judge, BOUDIN and LYNCH, Circuit Judges.

PER CURIAM.


Upon de novo review we agree with the district court's decision to dismiss the complaint because, even with plaintiff's amendments, it fails to articulate facts sufficient to sustain a cognizable claim. The judgment is affirmed and modified to reflect that the state claims, and any unexhausted claims within the exclusive original jurisdiction of an administrative agency, are dismissed without prejudice.

Affirmed as modified.
