On June 4, 2014, the court dismissed La’Shonte Morris’ claim for violation of the Truth

in Lending Act (“TILA”), 15 U.S.C. § 1601 with leave to amend. Morris did not restate her

jurisdiction. The court declined to exercise supplemental jurisdiction over Morris’ state law

26

claims for declaratory judgment, unlawful foreclosure, quiet title, and violation of California
