ORDER AFFIRMING THE
RECOMMENDED DECISION OF THE MAGISTRATE JUDGE
No objections having been filed to the Magistrate Judge's Recommended
Decision (ECF No. 33) filed May 31, 2012, the Recommended Decision is AFFIRMED.
Accordingly, it is ORDERED:
1. Plaintiff’s Motion to Remand, (ECF No. 19) is DENIED.
2. Defendants’ Motion to Dismiss (ECF No. 16) is GRANTED.
3. The sole remaining state law claims under the Maine Freedom of Access
statute and the claims against Defendant Aramark, Inc. are REMANDED to
State Court.

Service as to Defendant Aramark, Inc. was completed on

September 13, 2012 pursuant to this Court’s June 12, 2012 Procedural Order.
However, the Court concludes that there is no independent basis for this Court
to exercise jurisdiction over the remaining claims and the Court declines to
exercise supplemental jurisdiction in accordance with 28 U.S.C. § 1367(c).
