Case No. 2:15-CV-1037-KJD-VCF

Defendants.

17

Presently before the Court is Plaintiff’s Motion to Reconsider the Claims for Relief against
Defendant Draskovich (#127).

18

The Court entered and Order (#117) dismissing all federal claims against Defendant

19

Draskovich, primarily because Draskovich is not a state actor under 42 U.S.C. § 1983. The Court

20

then declined to exercise supplemental jurisdiction over the remaining state law claims, including the

21

legal malpractice claim. Those claims, against Draskovich, were not dismissed with prejudice.

22

Plaintiff is free to bring them in state court where they belong. Plaintiff has made no showing that the

23

Court should retain them in the federal action where all claims and defendants have been dismissed

24

and the case is closed.
