Opinion
Case No. 10-10943.
May 13, 2010
ORDER OF PARTIAL DISMISSAL
Plaintiff Liz I. Brorson filed an amended complaint in this matter, alleging violations of the Family Medical Leave Act in Count I and violations of Michigan's Persons with Disabilities Act in Count II. Although Plaintiff's federal cause of action is cognizable in this court pursuant to 28 U.S.C. § 1331, the other allegations present a claim based solely on state law. This court declines to exercise supplemental jurisdiction over Plaintiff's state law claim in order 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).
Accordingly, it is hereby ORDERED that Count II of the complaint is DISMISSED.
