1Opinion of the Court
EBEL, Circuit Judge.
Theodore Smith appeals the district court’s dismissal of his claims against David Plati, the Assistant Athletic Director for Media Relations of the University of Colorado, the Regents of the University, and the University itself. In addition, Smith alleges that the district court erred when it ordered him to dismiss a parallel state court action raising virtually identical claims to those in his federal lawsuit. We AFFIRM the district court’s dismissal, and, thus, hold that Smith’s final allegation is moot. 1
