April 15, 2020 Opinion or Order Filing 12 MINUTE ORDER IN CHAMBERS - COURT ORDER by Judge Percy Anderson. The Complaint filed in this action asserts a claim for injunctive relief arising out of an alleged violation of the Americans with Disabilities Act ("ADA") and one or more "construction-related accessibility claims" under California law, including a claim for damages pursuant to California's Unruh Act. Because the Court possesses only supplemental jurisdiction over the Unruh Act and any other state law claims, and in light of California's statutory efforts to curtail such claims, the Court ordered plaintiff to show cause in writing why the Court should exercise supplemental jurisdiction over the Unruh Act and any other state law claims asserted in the Complaint. See 28 U.S.C. 1367(c). The Court has reviewed the Response filed by plaintiff and plaintiff's counsel to the Court's Order to Show Cause. (SEE DOCUMENT FOR FULL DETAILS). For all of the foregoing reasons, the Court, in its discretion, declines to exercise supplemental jurisdiction over plaintiff's Unruh Act and any other construction-related accessibility claim. The Court therefore dismisses any such claims without prejudice. See 28 U.S.C. 1367(c)(4). (mrgo)

Civ. Code 51-53. It appears that the Court possesses only supplemental jurisdiction over the Unruh Act claim, and any other state law claim that plaintiff may have alleged, pursuant to the Court's supplemental jurisdiction.
