Opinion
Case No. 05-60224.
October 19, 2005
ORDER OF PARTIAL DISMISSAL
On September 23, 2005, Plaintiffs filed a complaint alleging the following causes of action: Count I, Equal Credit Opportunity Act; Count II, Michigan Mortgage Originator, Lender, Servicer, Licensing Act, M.C.L. § 445.1651 et seq.; and Count III, misrepresentation. Plaintiffs do not allege that diversity jurisdiction exists. Although Count I is cognizable in this court pursuant to 28 U.S.C. § 1331, the remaining allegations present claims based on state law. This court declines to exercise supplemental jurisdiction over Plaintiffs' state law 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).
Accordingly, IT IS HEREBY ORDERED that Count II of Plaintiff's complaint is DISMISSED.
