Proceedings: ORDER TO SHOW CAUSE WHY THE COURT SHOULD NOT DENY SUPPLEMENTAL JURISDICTION On July 26, 2023, Plaintiff Latanya Williams filed her Complaint asserting a claim for injunctive relief arising out of an alleged violation of the American with Disabilities Act (“ADA”), 42 U.S.C. §§§ 12182(a), 121282(b)(A)(i)–(iv), and 1283(a)(2); a claim for damages pursuant to California’s Unruh Civil Rights Acts (“Unruh Act”),

; a claim for damages pursuant to California’s Disabled Persons Act,

(a)–(d); a claim for damages pursuant to the California Health & Safety Code § 19955, et seq.; and a claim for damages pursuant to a state law negligence theory. [Dkt. 1]. As the Unruh Act, the California Disabled Persons Act, the California Health & Safety Code, and the negligence claims are all pursuant to state law, as opposed to a federal law, the Court would only possess supplemental jurisdiction over them. See

(a). The supplemental jurisdiction statute “reflects the understanding that, when deciding whether to exercise supplemental jurisdiction, ‘a federal court should consider and weigh in each case, and at every stage of the litigation, the values of judicial economy, convenience, fairness, and comity.’” City of Chicago v. Int’l CIVIL MINUTES— College of Surgeons,

(1997) (emphasis added) (quoting Carnegie-Mellon Univ. v. Cohill,

(1988)). The Court therefore orders Williams to show cause in writing why the Court should exercise supplemental jurisdiction over the state law claims asserted in the Complaint. See

(a). In responding to this Order to Show Cause, Williams shall identify the statutory damages she seeks to recover. Williams and her counsel shall also support their responses to this Order with declarations, signed under penalty of perjury, providing all facts necessary for the Court to determine if they satisfy the definition of a “high-frequency litigant” as provided by California Civil Procedure Code §§ 425.55(b)(1) & (2). Williams shall file her response to this order no later than August 11, 2023. The Court further sets a hearing regarding this Order to Show Cause on August 18, 2023, at 1:00 PM via Zoom.1 Failure to timely or adequately respond to this Order may, without further warning, result in the dismissal of the entire action without prejudice or the Court declining to exercise supplemental jurisdiction over the state law claims pursuant to

(a). IT IS SO ORDERED.
