Proceedings: ORDER TO SHOW CAUSE WHY THE COURT SHOULD

NOT DENY SUPPLEMENTAL JURISDICTION

On September 19, 2023, Plaintiff Raul Uriarte Limon filed his Complaint asserting a claim for injunctive relief arising out of an alleged violation of the Americans with Disabilities Act (“ADA”), 42 U.S.C. §§§ 12182(a), 121282(b)(A)(i)–(v), and 12183, and a claim for damages pursuant to California’s Unruh Civil Rights Acts (“Unruh Act”), Cal. Civ. Code § 52. [Dkt. 1]. As the Unruh Act claim is pursuant to state law, as opposed to a federal law, the Court would only possess supplemental jurisdiction over it. See 28 U.S.C. § 1367(a). The supplemental jurisdiction statute “reflects the understanding that, when deciding whether to exercise supplemental jurisdiction, ‘a federal court should consider and weigh in each case, and at every stage of the litigation, the values of judicial economy, convenience, fairness, and comity.’” City of Chicago v. Int’l College of Surgeons, 522 U.S. 156, 173 (1997) (emphasis added) (quoting Carnegie-Mellon Univ. v. Cohill, 484 U.S. 343, 350 (1988)). The Court therefore orders Limon to show cause in writing why the Court should exercise supplemental jurisdiction over the state law claim asserted in the Complaint. See 28 U.S.C. § 1367(a).
