Garcia v. Elsumeri
Garcia v. Elsumeri
Trial Court Opinion
UNITED STATES DISTRICT COURT NORTHERN DISTRICT OF CALIFORNIA
ORLANDO GARCIA, Case No. 21-cv-06598-VC Plaintiff, ORDER DISMISSING UNRUH ACT Vv. CLAIM MUSTAFA ELSUMERI, et al., Re: Dkt. No. 23 Defendants.
The Court declines to exercise supplemental jurisdiction over the Unruh Act claim. See Arroyo v. Rosas,
19 F. 4th 1202, 1211-14(9th Cir. 2021). The case is in its early stages, so concerns of judicial economy, convenience, fairness to litigants, and comity do not favor retaining jurisdiction. See
id. at 1214. And the facts of the case—“a frequent filer of ADA and Unruh Act claims seeking federal jurisdiction to circumvent California's procedural barriers to such suits—present the type of exceptional circumstances contemplated by section 1367(c)(4)” to decline supplemental jurisdiction. Whitaker v. Alice & Olivia California Holdings LLC,
2022 WL 1135088, at *1 (N.D. Cal. Apr. 18, 2022). A status report is due by October 3, 2022. IT IS SO ORDERED. Dated: July 6, 2022 = VINCE CHHABRIA United States District Judge
