May 3, 2022 Filing 28 JOINT REPORT Rule 26(f) Discovery Plan ; estimated length of trial 2-3 days, filed by Plaintiff Antonio Fernandez.. (Montgomery, Elliott)
April 28, 2022 Opinion or Order Filing 27 MINUTE ORDER DECLINING SUPPLEMENTAL JURISDICTION AND DISMISSING UNRUH ACT CLAIM by Judge Stanley Blumenfeld, Jr.: On 3/25/2022, the Court ordered Plaintiff to show cause why it should not decline supplemental jurisdiction over Plaintiff's Unruh Act claim in light of the exceptional circumstances described in the Ninth Circuit's recent decision in Arroyo v. Rosas, 19 F.4th 1202 (9th Cir. 2021) #10 . Plaintiff filed a response that was wholly nonresponsive to the order and was directed to a different court and addressed different issues #15 . Plaintiff withdrew the initial response and--without seeking leave of Court--filed a new 27-page brief that is at least in part directed at the concerns raised by the Court #19 . Plaintiff's attempted end-run around the restrictions imposed on serial filers of Unruh Act claims presents exceptional circumstances under 28 U.S.C. Section 1367(c)(4), and the principles of economy, convenience, fairness, and especially comity provide compelling reasons for declining supplemental jurisdiction. Accordingly, the Court exercises its discretion to decline supplemental jurisdiction over Plaintiff's Unruh Act claim, and that claim is DISMISSED without prejudice. Court Reporter: N/A. (gk)
April 22, 2022 Filing 26 MINUTES OF Order to Show Cause Re Sanctions Hearing held before Judge Stanley Blumenfeld, Jr.: The Court heard from counsel for Plaintiff, Elliott C.

The Court admonishes Plaintiff's counsel for his extraordinary carelessness and expects him to pay closer attention to his filings in the future. The Court will address the issue of supplemental jurisdiction over Plaintiff's Unruh Act claim in a separate order. Court Reporter: Katie Thibodeaux. (gk)

March 25, 2022 Opinion or Order Filing 10 MINUTE ORDER TO SHOW CAUSE by Judge Stanley Blumenfeld, Jr.: This case is still at a very early stage, and this Court has not yet addressed or adjudicated the merits of any of Plaintiff's claims. This appears to be a case in which the Court should decline supplemental jurisdiction over Plaintiff's Unruh Act claim under Section 1367(c)(4) to protect the comity interests identified in Arroyo v. Rosas,19 F.4th 1202 (9th Cir. 2021). Accordingly, the Court ORDERS Plaintiff within 14 days after entry of this Order to show cause in writing why the Court should not dismiss without prejudice his Unruh Act claim under Section 1367(c)(4). If Plaintiff fails to file a response within 14 days after entry of this Order, the Court will decline to exercise supplemental jurisdiction over his Unruh Act claim, and the Unruh Act claim will be automatically dismissed without prejudice without further order of the Court. See document for further details. Court Reporter: N/A. (gk)
