IN THE UNITED STATES DISTRICT COURT

FOR THE NORTHERN DISTRICT OF CALIFORNIA

SAN JOSE DIVISION

 Eugene Forte,

Plaintiff,

 v.

Knight Ridder, et al.,

Defendants. /

NO. C 06-03948 JW 

ORDER FOLLOWING HEARING

A hearing on Plaintiff's Motion and Application for Temporary Restraining Order and Order

to Show Cause was noticed for April 30, 2007 at 9:00 AM. (See Docket Item No. 131.) By its

Order of April 26, 2007, the Court denied Plaintiff's Motion as moot. Accordingly, the hearing was

removed from the Court's calendar. 

Based on the Plaintiff's representation that he would appear (Docket Item No. 138), the Court

called the matter. Defendant Craig Smith appeared through counsel and requested the Court issue a

judgment in his favor. The Court declined to exercise supplemental jurisdiction over Plaintiff's

defamation claim against Mr. Smith; it did not adjudicate the merits of that claim. (See Order

Granting Defendants' Motions to Dismiss at 12, Docket Item No. 136.) Accordingly, the Court

declines to amend the judgment. 

Dated: April 30, 2007
