ORDER

Before the Court for consideration are Plaintiffs’ fully briefed Motions to

19

Sever and Remand Plaintiffs’ Claims Under Nevada Law to the Eighth Judicial

20

Court of Nevada (Doc.’s #199, #200), filed March 28, 2011.

21

Although Defendants are correct in their Response (Doc. #208) filed May

22

3, 2011 that this Court did not expressly decline supplemental jurisdiction over

23

Plaintiffs’ state claims when the Court entered its Order (Doc. #184) on November 2,

24

2010 denying Plaintiffs’ Motion for Partial Class Certification, the Court finds it is

25

now appropriate to do so based upon the arguments set forth in Plaintiffs’ instant

26

motion to sever and remand.

1

IT IS THEREFORE ORDERED that Plaintiffs’ Motions to Sever and

2

Remand Plaintiffs’ Claims Under Nevada Law to the Eighth Judicial Court of

3

4

Relief Under Nevada’s Labor Law, Third Claim for Relief under NRS 608.040, and

5

Fourth Claim for Relief for Breach of Contract set forth in Plaintiffs’ First Amended

6

Under the Fair Labor Standards Act, and said severed claims are hereby remanded to

8

the Eighth Judicial District Court, in and for the County of Clark, State of Nevada.
