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 claims for damages under California’s Unruh Civil Rights Act, California’s Disabled Persons Act, the California Health and Safety Code, and a negligence theory. The Court ORDERS Plaintiff to show cause in writing no later than January 3, 2025 why it should not decline to exercise supplemental jurisdiction over the Unruh Act and other state law claims. See 28 U.S.C. § 1367(c)(2), (c)(4); Schutza v. Cuddeback, 262 F. Supp. 3d 1025 (S.D. Cal. 2017).
