August 28, 2017 Opinion or Order Filing 44 Opinion and Order - At the time Plaintiff filed her First Amended Complaint, the Court had original federal question jurisdiction over Myers based on Plaintiff's claim under 42 U.S.C. § 1983. The Court also had supplemental jurisdiction ove r the related state law claims asserted against the City. Plaintiff's state law claims, however, are only actionable under the Oregon Tort Claims Act, which requires that the City be substituted for Myers on those claims. Accordingly, the Court dismisses Myers from Plaintiff's state claims. In addition, the Court concludes that Myers is entitled to qualified immunity from suit for damages under § 1983 and that Plaintiff presents no cognizable claim under § 1983 for any other relief against Myers. Accordingly, the Court dismisses Plaintiff's § 1983 claim against Myers. Without a federal claim based on Defendants' conduct, the Court declines to exercise supplemental jurisdiction over the remaining state law claims against the City. Defendants' Motion to Substitute (ECF 27 ) and Motion to Dismiss(ECF 16 ) are GRANTED. Signed on 8/28/2017 by Judge Michael H. Simon. (mja)
