Case No. 13-11565
04-22-2013
LISA C. ALSHAB, Plaintiff, v. OAKLAND COMMUNITY COLLEGE, Defendant.
Hon. John Corbett O'Meara
ORDER OF PARTIAL DISMISSAL
Plaintiff Lisa C. Alshab filed a two-count complaint in this matter alleging the following causes of action: Count I, violation of the Elliott-Larsen Civil Rights Act ("ELCRA"), Mich. Comp. Laws § 37.2202; and Count II, discrimination based on Title VII, 42 U.S.C. § 2002; et seq.
Although Plaintiff's cause of action arising under a federal statue is cognizable in this court pursuant to 28 U.S.C. § 1331, the remaining allegations present claims based solely on state law. This court declines to exercise supplemental jurisdiction over Plaintiff's state law claims in order to avoid jury confusion. See 28 U.S.C. § 1367(c); United Mine Workers v. Gibbs, 383 U.S. 715 (1966); and Padilla v. City of Saginaw, 867 F. Supp. 1309 (E.D. Mich. 1994).
Therefore, it is hereby ORDERED that Count I is DISMISSED.
John Corbett O'Meara
United States District Court
