UNITED STATES DISTRICT COURT

EASTERN DISTRICT OF CALIFORNIA

JOSE ESCOBEDO,

Plaintiff,

v.

QUE T. THUONG doing business as PHO 

PARADISE RESTAURANT, et al.,

Defendants.

Case No. 1:24-cv-1081 JLT SKO

ORDER ADOPTING FINDINGS AND 

RECOMMENDATIONS AND DECLINING 

SUPPLEMENTAL JURISDICTION OVER

PLAINTIFF’S STATE LAW CLAIMS

(Doc. 9)

Jose Escobedo seeks to hold the defendants liable for violations of Title III of the 

Americans with Disabilities Act, California’s Unruh Act, and California Health and Safety Code 

§§ 19955, 19959. (Doc. 1 at 5-10.) Following an order to show cause regarding jurisdiction, the 

assigned magistrate judge issued Findings and Recommendations, recommending the Court 

decline to exercise supplemental jurisdiction over Plaintiff’s state law claims and dismiss the 

claims without prejudice pursuant to 28 U.S.C. § 1367(c)(4). (Doc. 9.) 

The Court served the Findings and Recommendations on Plaintiff,

1

and informed him that

any objections must be filed within 14 days of the date of service. (Doc. 9 at 7.) In addition, the 

Court informed Plaintiff that “failure to file objections within the specified time may result in the 

waiver of rights on appeal.” (Id., citing Wilkerson v. Wheeler, 772 F.3d 834, 838-39 (9th Cir. 

2014).) Plaintiff did not file objections, and the time to do so has expired.

1 Defendants have not yet appeared in this action.

According to 28 U.S.C. § 636(b)(1), this Court performed a de novo review of the case. 

Having carefully reviewed the matter, the Court concludes the Findings and Recommendations 

are supported by the record and proper analysis. Thus, the Court ORDERS:

1. The Findings and Recommendations issued on October 1, 2024 (Doc. 9) are 

ADOPTED in full.

2. The Court DECLINES to exercise supplemental jurisdiction over Plaintiff’s 

claims arising under California’s Unruh Act and Health & Safety Code.

3. Plaintiff’s claims for violations of the Unruh Act and Cal. Health & Safety Code 

§ 19955 and § 19959 are DISMISSED without prejudice.

4. This matter is referred to the magistrate judge for further proceedings.

IT IS SO ORDERED.

Dated: October 16, 2024
