Per Curiam. Plaintiff claimed that his discharge
__________

violated 1) 42 U.S.C. 1981, 2) 42 U.S.C. 1983, 3) Title

VII, and 4) 29 L.P.R.A. 146. Defendant moved to dismiss

the first two claims. The district court granted the motion,

but dismissed the entire action. On appeal, plaintiff does

not challenge the dismissal of the 1981 and 1983 claims,

and defendant concedes that the Title VII claim was

improperly dismissed. Seeing no basis for the dismissal of

the Title VII claim, we affirm the dismissal of the 1981

and 1983 claims, but vacate the dismissal of the other

claims and remand for further proceedings, including a

determination by the district court whether to exercise

pendent jurisdiction over the state law claim.

Affirmed in part; vacated and remanded in part; no

costs.
