Defendants.

This action was referred to Magistrate Judge Leslie G. Foschio pursuant to 28
U.S.C. § 636(b)(1) for the conduct of pretrial proceedings. On November 9, 2016,
Magistrate Judge Foschio filed a Report and Recommendation (Dkt. No. 29)
recommending that plaintiffs’ motion to remand the case to state court (Dkt. No. 7)
be granted.
On November 22, 2016 and on December 22, 2016, defendants Judy Curtis
and Mid-Erie Counseling Treatment Center filed objections to the Report and
Recommendation. Dkt. Nos. 30 and 32. The matter was deemed submitted.
Pursuant to 28 U.S.C. §636(b)(1), the Court makes de novo determination of

the portions of the Report and Recommendation to which objections have been
made. Upon de novo review, and after reviewing the submissions from the parties,
the Court adopts Magistrate Judge Foschio’s conclusions.
Accordingly, for the reasons set forth in Magistrate Judge Foschio’s Report
and Recommendation, the Court declines to exercise supplemental jurisdiction
pursuant to 28 U.S.C. § 1367, plaintiff’s motion to remand is granted, and the action
is remanded to New York State Supreme Court, County of Erie. The Clerk of the
Court shall mail a certified copy of this Decision and Order, with a clear reference to
Supreme Court, County of Erie, Index No. 2012-000110, to the clerk of the state
court. The Clerk of Court is directed also to transfer the file to the Supreme Court,
Erie County, and to then take all steps necessary to close the case.
IT IS SO ORDERED.
