Filing 8

ORDER OF PARTIAL DISMISSAL OF 1 Complaint, filed by Darcy Wilde, Jessica Singleton. Signed by District Judge John Corbett O'Meara. (WBar)

UNITED STATES DISTRICT COURT
EASTERN DISTRICT OF MICHIGAN
SOUTHERN DIVISION

DARCY WILDE and JESSICA SINGLETON,
Case No. 15-10417
Plaintiff,
Honorable John Corbett O’Meara
v.
EDRIC, L.L.C., and BARDHOK MARKAJ,
Defendants.
/
ORDER OF PARTIAL DISMISSAL
Plaintiffs Darcy Wilde and Jessica Singleton filed a seven-count complaint in this court,
alleging the following causes of action: Count I, hostile work environment under Title VII of the
Civil Rights Act of 1964; Count II, hostile work environment under Michigan’s Elliott-Larsen Civil
Rights Act (“ELCRA”); Count III, pregnancy discrimination under Title VII; Count IV, pregnancy
discrimination under ELCRA; Count V, discrimination based on national origin under Title VII;
Count VI, discrimination based on national origin under ELCRA; and Count VII, retaliation under
Title VII.
Although Plaintiffs’ causes of action arising under federal law are cognizable in this court
pursuant to 28 U.S.C. § 1331, the remaining allegations of the complaint are based solely on state
law. The parties to this action are not diverse, and the court declines to exercise supplemental
jurisdiction over Plaintiffs' 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, IV, and VI of the complaint are
DISMISSED.
