B. The State Law Claims In light of the above findings, the Court declines to exercise supplemental jurisdiction over the State Claims. "[W]here[, as here,] the claim[s] over which the district court has original jurisdiction [are] dismissed before trial, the district court must decline to decide the pendent state claims unless considerations of judicial economy, convenience, and fairness to the parties provide an affirmative justification for doing so." Borough of W Mifflin v. Lancaster, 45 F.3d 780, 788 (3d Cir. 1995) (emphasis added) (citations omitted); accord. Garges v. People's Light & Theatre Co., 529 F. App'x 156, 163 (3d Cir. 2013); Haqq v. Warren County Corr. Ctr., No. 21-17202, 2022 WL 2473440, at *2 (D.N.J. July 6, 2022). Here, no principles of judicial economy, convenience, or fairness exist that might support this Comi' s exercise of continued jurisdiction. As such, this Court declines supplemental jurisdiction, and the State Claims are dismissed without prejudice. W Mifflin, 45 F.3d at 788. IV. CONCLUSION For the above reasons, Plaintiffs' Amended Complaint is dismissed in its entirety. An appropriate order will follow this Memorandum Opinion. MICHAEL A.
