Opinion
Case No. 09-14804.
February 12, 2010
ORDER OF PARTIAL DISMISSAL
On December 9, 2009, Plaintiff filed a complaint alleging violations of the Americans with Disabilities Act ("ADA") and Michigan's People with Disabilities Civil Rights Act ("PWDCRA"). Although alleged violations of the ADA are cognizable in this court pursuant to 28 U.S.C. § 1331, the remaining allegations present claims based on state law. Since the parties to this matter are not diverse, this court declines to exercise supplemental jurisdiction over Plaintiff's PWDCRA claims so as to avoid jury confusion. See 28 U.S.C. § 1367(c); United Mine Workers v. Gibbs, 383 U.S. 715 (1966); Padilla v. City of Saginaw, 867 F. Supp. 1309 (E.D. Mich. 1994).
Plaintiff filed an amended complaint on January 20, 2010, which did not change the substance of her claims.
Accordingly, IT IS HEREBY ORDERED that Plaintiff's PWDCRA claims are DISMISSED.
