UNITED STATES DISTRICT COURT
EASTERN DISTRICT OF MICHIGAN
SOUTHERN DIVISION
SAMUEL VAIL and
STEPHANIE VAIL,
Plaintiffs,
Case No. 13-10393
v.
Hon. John Corbett O’Meara
LAW OFFICES OF SUSAN ADDISON BLUSH, P.C.
Defendant.
________________________________/
ORDER OF PARTIAL DISMISSAL
Plaintiffs Samuel Vail and Stephanie Vail filed a three-count complaint in this matter
alleging the following causes of action: Count I, violation of the Fair Debt Collection Practices
Act, 15 U.S.C. § 1692; Count II, violation of the Michigan Occupational Code, Mich. Comp.
Laws §§ 339.901 and 339.915; and Count III, violation of the Michigan Collection Practices Act,
Mich. Comp. Laws §§ 445.251 and 444.252.
Although Plaintiff’s cause of action arising under a federal statues is cognizable in this
court pursuant to 28 U.S.C. § 1331, the remaining allegations present claims based solely on
state law. This court declines to exercise supplemental jurisdiction over Plaintiff’s state law
claims in order to avoid jury confusion. See 28 U.S.C. § 1367(c); United Mine Workers v.
Gibbs, 383 U.S. 715 (1966); and Padilla v. City of Saginaw, 867 F. Supp. 1309 (E.D. Mich.
1994).
Therefore, it is hereby ORDERED that Counts II and III are DISMISSED.
Date: April 22, 2013

I hereby certify that on April 22, 2013 a copy of this order was served upon counsel of
record using the ECF system.
