• All claims for punitive damages on state law claims against Lake Havasu

City, Police Chief Doyle, or Officer Dodge are dismissed with prejudice.

• Counts VI, XIII, XV, and XVIII are dismissed with leave to amend by April

10, 2010.

• Counts V and XIV against Officer Dodge and Lake Havasu City, Count

XVII against Lake Havasu City, and Counts XIX and XX against Dr.

Gallman, Officer Dodge, and Lake Havasu City are not dismissed.

(Doc. # 51.) Plaintiff did not file a proposed Amended Complaint by April 10, 2010, as

permitted by the March 19, 2010 Order. Therefore, Counts VI, XIII, XV, and XVIII will

be dismissed with prejudice.

All of the claims remaining in this action are based on state law: 

• Count V (Slander Per Se) against Officer Dodge and Lake Havasu City;

• Count XIV (Interference with Employment Contract) against Officer Dodge

and Lake Havasu City;

• Count XVII (Failure to Train) against Lake Havasu City;

• Count XIX (Intentional Infliction of Emotional Distress) against Dr.

Gallman, Officer Dodge, and Lake Havasu City; and

• Count XX (Negligence) against Dr. Gallman, Officer Dodge, and Lake

Havasu City.

The United States removed this case from Mohave County Superior Court

pursuant to 28 U.S.C. §§ 2679(d)(2) and 1442(a)(1) because Plaintiff alleged tort claims

and sought money damages against Parker Indian Hospital and Erna Johnson for acts or

omissions within the course and scope of their duties as deemed federal employees. 

Those tort claims and all other federal law claims now will be dismissed with prejudice. 

Because all claims over which the Court had original jurisdiction now will be dismissed

and it is early in the action before substantial preparation has gone into the dependent

claims, the Court declines to exercise supplemental jurisdiction over the remaining claims

and will remand the case to Mohave County Superior Court. See 28 U.S.C. § 1367(c)(3).

this judgment.

IT IS FURTHER ORDERED that this case shall be remanded to the Mohave

County Superior Court for further proceedings regarding Counts V and XIV against

Officer David Dodge, Jane Doe Dodge, and Lake Havasu City; Count XVII against Lake

Havasu City; and Counts XIX and XX against Dr. Brian Gallman, Jane Doe Gallman,
