SAN JOSE DIVISION

JANET L. SANDERS, et al.,

Plaintiff,

v.

COUNTY OF SANTA CRUZ, et al.,

Defendant.

Case No. 5:13-cv-03205-EJD 

ORDER DISMISSING THIRD PARTY 

COMPLAINT

On March 13, 2015, the court issued an order requiring the parties to the Third Party 

Complaint to show cause on or before March 18, 2015, why the third-party claims asserted by the 

County Defendants should not be dismissed without prejudice pursuant to 28 U.S.C. § 1367(c). 

See Docket Item No. 121. As the court explained, all claims that formed the basis for federal 

jurisdiction had been dismissed, rendering it appropriate decline the exercise of continuing 

supplemental jurisdiction. 

No responses to the show cause order have been filed. Accordingly, the court finds under 

28 U.S.C. § 1367(c) that it “has dismissed all claims over which it has original jurisdiction” and 

that state-law claims “substantially predominate[] over the claim or claims over which the district 

court [had] original jurisdiction.” On those grounds, supplemental jurisdiction over the third-party 

claims is declined and they are DISMISSED WITHOUT PREJUDICE. All other matters are 

TERMINATED and VACATED and the Clerk shall close this file. 

IT IS SO ORDERED.

Dated: March 20, 2015
