ORDER
AND NOW this 19th day of February 2013, upon consideration of a motion to dismiss

(Dkt. No. 20), plaintiff Meghan Donohue’s reply thereto (Dkt. No. 25), plaintiff’s notice of
recent authority in further support of her reply (Dkt. No. 31) and defendants’ response thereto
(Dkt. No. 32), it is ORDERED that the motion to dismiss is GRANTED and Count I of the

remaining claims against PHEAA and the PHEAA are individual defendants are state law claims
the Court declines to exercise supplemental jurisdiction over Counts II and III and those claims
are DISMISSED without prejudice.
