In the OSC, the Court ordered Fernandez to show cause in writing why the Court should exercise supplemental jurisdiction over the Unruh Act claim. See 28 U.S.C. Section 1367(c). Further, the Court ordered Fernandez to identify the amount of statutory damages he seeks to recover and provide all facts necessary for the Court to determine if Fernandez and his counsel satisfy the definition of a "high-frequency litigant" as provided by California Code of Civil Procedure Section 425.55(b)(1) & (2). The Court finds Fernandez's Unruh Act claim is unsuitable for supplemental jurisdiction within the meaning of section 1367(c)(4).
