U.S. Court of Appeals for the Ninth Circuit
Samuel Rosen v. Property Advantage Partners, 623 F. App'x 879 (9th Cir. 2015)

Samuel Rosen v. Property Advantage Partners

Opinion

MEMORANDUM **

Samuel Rosen appeals pro se from the district court’s judgment dismissing his 42 U.S.C. § 1983 action alleging various claims against the property management *880 company of a private, residential mobile home park. We have jurisdiction under 28 U.S.C. § 1291. We review de novo a dismissal for failure to state a claim under 28 U.S.C. § 1915(e)(2). Barren v. Harrington, 152 F.3d 1193, 1194 (9th Cir. 1998) (order). We affirm in part, vacate in part, and remaud.

The district court properly dismissed Rosen’s § 1983 claim because Rosen failed to allege facts sufficient to show that any defendant acted under color of state law. See West v. Atkins, 487 U.S. 42, 48, 108 S.Ct. 2250, 101 L.Ed.2d 40 (1988) (“To state a claim under § 1983, a plaintiff must allege the violation of a right secured by the Constitution and laws of the United States, and must show that the alleged deprivation was committed by‘a person acting under color of state law.”).

However, we vacate the judgment in part and remand with instructions to dismiss Rosen’s state law claims without prejudice. See Gini v. Las Vegas Metro. Police Dep’t, 40 F.3d 1041, 1046 (9th Cir. 1994) (“When ... the court dismisses the federal claim leaving only state claims for resolution, the court should decline jurisdiction over the state claims and dismiss them without prejudice.” (citation and internal quotation marks omitted; alteration in original)); see also 28 U.S.C. § 1367(c)(3) (a district court may decline to exercise supplemental jurisdiction over state law claims upon the dismissal of all federal claims).

AFFIRMED in part, VACATED in part, and REMANDED.
