No. #32 , the Court dismissed sua sponte Counts III-VI of the amended complaint as to Defendant Michelle Pinto and remanded the surviving state law claims to state court. Recognizing that the Plaintiff had not yet had an opportunity to oppose the dismissal of these claims, the Court held in abeyance the dismissal and remand and allowed the Plaintiff to file an opposition within fourteen days explaining why the federal claims against Defendant Michelle Pinto were not futile. See Doc. No. #32 at 9, 14-15. The fourteen-day deadline has passed, and the Plaintiff has filed no response. Therefore, the Court lifts its stay of the dismissal and remand. Separate judgment shall issue, and the Clerk shall close the case. (Belmont, Kellyann)
