Opinion
Case No. 06-10860.
April 3, 2006
ORDER OF PARTIAL DISMISSAL
On February 27, 2006, Plaintiff filed a two-count complaint alleging violations of the Family and Medical Leave Act (Count I) and the Elliott-Larsen Civil Rights Act (Count II). Although Count I is cognizable in this court pursuant to 28 U.S.C. § 1331, Plaintiff's remaining claims arise under state law. Pursuant to 28 U.S.C. § 1367(c), a district court may decline to exercise supplemental jurisdiction over state law claims raised in federal question cases. See United Mine Workers v. Gibbs, 383 U.S. 715 (1966); Padilla v. City of Saginaw, 867 F. Supp. 1309 (E.D. Mich. 1994). This court declines to exercise supplemental jurisdiction over Plaintiff's state law claims.
Accordingly, IT IS HEREBY ORDERED that Count II of Plaintiff's complaint is DISMISSED.
