The judge disposed of all the federal claims by ruling that they did not state a claim under which relief could be granted. The only part dismissed without prejudice were the New Jersey state law-common law claims, which the federal court had pendent jurisdiction over. In other words, if you bring a suit in federal court you can attach state law claims and the court will hear them, because they often involve just about the same proof. But, when a federal district court disposes of or dismisses the federal claims, there is nothing left for it to base jurisdiction on. Therefore, the state law claims are dismissed without prejudice, so that they can be filed in state court and there is a short extension of the statute of limitations to give the party some time to file those state-law claims in a court that does have jurisdiction. Basically, it's a way for federal courts to dispose of federal claims and not be bogged down with a lot of cases that are purely based on state or common law, so they can concentrate on the federal cases. Judge did what she was supposed to.
