No. CV09-1548 PHX DGC
ORDER

15

On today’s date, Defendants moved for dismissal, arguing that the Court should

16

decline to exercise supplemental jurisdiction over the remaining state law claim. Doc. 67.

17

The contract at issue in this case was the basis for a permanent injunction issued by this

18

Court in a related case, and Defendants have not shown a non-existent federal interest in

19

adjudicating the contract claim. Moreover, Plaintiff’s complaint alleges diversity as an

20

alternative basis for jurisdiction.

21

IT IS ORDERED that the motion to dismiss (Doc. 67) is denied.

22

DATED this 22nd day of August, 2011.
