The Court GRANTS summary judgment dismissing with prejudice Plaintiff's First and Second Causes of Action (for overtime wages pursuant to California Labor Code Sections 510 and 1194 and 29 U.S.C. Section 207(a)(1)). Judgment is entered for Defendant on these claims. 2. The Court GRANTS summary judgment dismissing with prejudice Plaintiff's allegation, in his Third Cause of Action, that Defendant's paychecks violated California Labor Code Section 212(a) because they bore an out-of-state address. Judgment is entered for Defendant on this claim. 3.

pursuant to California Labor Code Section 1194 and 29 U.SC. Section 206(a)). Judgment is entered for Defendant on these claims. 7. The Court GRANTS summary judgment dismissing with prejudice Plaintiff's Ninth Cause of Action (alleging a claim for paying wages below scale pursuant to California Labor Code Section 223). Judgment is entered for Defendant on this claim. 8. The Court GRANTS summary judgment dismissing with prejudice Plaintiff's Tenth and Eleventh Causes of Action (alleging violation of California Business & Professions Code Sections 17200 et seq. and California Labor Code Section 2699) to the extent they rely or are based on any of Plaintiff's causes of action dismissed with prejudice above. The Court DENIES summary judgment to the extent Plaintiff's Tenth and Eleventh Causes of Action rely upon Defendant's alleged violation of California Labor Code Section 212(a) by issuing vouchers redeemable for cash at CDMs for a fee. 9. The Court DISMISSES without prejudice all remaining state law claims for lack of jurisdiction. Specifically, because Plaintiff's Motion for Class Certification was denied on February 16, 2010, jurisdiction under the Class Action Fairness Act, 28 U.S.C. Section 1332(d)(2) can no longer be established. In addition, because the Court dismissed with prejudice all federal causes of action, it declines to exercise supplemental jurisdiction over the remaining claims. Ove v. Gwinn, 264 F.3d 817, 826 (9th Cir. 2001). DATED: December 15, 2010
