DARREN GILBERT, Plaintiff, v. DABB LIQUOR INCORPORATED dba P J Market, et al., Defendants.
ORDER ADOPTING FINDINGS AND RECOMMENDATIONS AND DECLINING SUPPLEMENTAL JURISDICTION OVER STATE LAW CLAIMS
(Doc. 17)
Darren Gilbert seeks to hold the defendants liable for violations of Title III of the Americans with Disabilities Act, California's Unruh Act, and California Health and Safety Code §§ 19955, 19959. (Doc. 1.) Following an order to show cause addressing jurisdiction, the assigned magistrate judge issued Findings and Recommendations, recommending the Court decline to exercise supplemental jurisdiction over Plaintiff's state law claims and dismiss the claims without prejudice pursuant to 28 U.S.C. § 1367(c)(4). (Doc. 17.)
The Findings and Recommendations were served on Plaintiff on April 14, 2023. Plaintiff was informed any objections must be filed within 14 days of the date of service. (Doc. 17 at 7.) In addition, Plaintiff was informed “failure to file objections within the specified time may result in the waiver of rights on appeal.” (Id., citing Wilkerson v. Wheeler, 772 F.3d 834, 838-39 (9th Cir. 2014).) No objections were filed, and the time to do so has expired.
Defendants have not appeared in this action and default has been entered by the Clerk of Court. (Docs. 10, 11.)
According to 28 U.S.C. § 636(b)(1)(c), this Court conducted a de novo review of the case. Having carefully reviewed the entire matter, the Court concludes that the Findings and Recommendations are supported by the record and proper analysis. Thus, the Court ORDERS:
1. The Findings and Recommendations issued on April 14, 2023 (Doc. 17) are ADOPTED in full.
2. The Court DECLINES to exercise supplemental jurisdiction over Plaintiff's claims arising under California's Unruh Act and Health & Safety Code.
3. Plaintiff's claims for violations of the Unruh Act and Cal. Health & Safety Code § 19955 and § 19959 are DISMISSED without prejudice.
4. This matter is referred to the magistrate judge for further proceedings.
IT IS SO ORDERED.
