Opinion
Case No. 10-10232.
February 10, 2010
ORDER OF PARTIAL DISMISSAL
On January 19, 2010, Plaintiff filed a complaint alleging violations of Title VII, the Pregnancy Discrimination Act ("PDA"), Fair Labor Standards Act ("FLSA") and Michigan's Elliott-Larsen Civil Rights Act ("ELCRA"). Although alleged violations of Title VII, the PDA, and FLSA 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 ELCRA 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 Plaintiff's ELCRA claims are DISMISSED.
