Case No. 09-CV-11123.
April 24, 2009
ORDER OF PARTIAL DISMISSAL
Plaintiff Dania Dunlap-Hurden filed a four-count complaint against defendants Mahle, Inc., Mahle Industries, Inc.; Mahle Powertrain, LLC.; and Mahle Technology, Inc., alleging the following causes of action: Count I, violations of Title VII of the Civil Rights Act of 1964, 42 U.S.C. §§ 2000(e) et seq; Count II, violations of the anti-retaliation provision of Title VII of the Civil Rights Act of 1964, 42 U.S.C. § 2000e-3; Count III, violations of Michigan's Elliot Larsen Civil Rights Act ("ELCRA"), Mich. Comp. Laws Ann. §§ 37.2101, et seq.; and Count IV, retaliation under the ELCRA.
While claims alleging violations of federal law are cognizable in this court pursuant to 28 U.S.C. § 1331, the remaining allegations in the complaint present claims based on state law. The parties to this matter are not diverse. Therefore, this court declines to exercise pendent jurisdiction over the state claims.See United Mine Workers v. Gibbs, 383 U.S. 715 (1966); 28 U.S.C. § 1367(c). Accordingly, it is hereby ORDERED that Counts III and IV are DISMISSED.
