UNITED STATES DISTRICT COURT

EASTERN DISTRICT OF CALIFORNIA

BYRON CHAPMAN,

NO. CIV. S-04-1339 LKK CMK

Plaintiff,

O R D E R

v.

PIER 1 IMPORTS, et al.,

Defendants.

 /

The court is in receipt of defendant's request to clarify the

court's June 16, 2006 order. The court believes that the order

speaks for itself. Nonetheless, and in an excess of caution

concerning the reading comprehension of the moving party, the court

makes the following observations as to the June 16th order. 

Plaintiff brought suit pursuant to the American with

Disabilities Act and several state law claims, specifically, the

Unruh Act (California Civil Code §§ 51 et seq.), and The Disabled

Persons Act (California Civil Code §§ 54 et seq.) As explicitly

noted in the June 16 order, all the other state law claims raised

in plaintiff's complaint were abandoned by plaintiff prior

to the cross-motions for summary judgment. Thus, there was and is

no occasion for the court to address the abandoned state law

claims.

 With respect to plaintiff's claim pursuant to the Disabled

Persons Act, the court notes that neither party briefed this claim.

As stated in the order, the court "will only adjudicate those

claims which are clearly being moved on. For that reason, the

court declines to adjudicate the related state law claims which

have not been briefed by either party." Order of June 16, 2006,

at 8.

In short, the court only adjudicated the claims upon which the

parties moved. The court did not adjudicate claims which were

either explicitly abandoned or were not briefed. 

IT IS SO ORDERED. 

DATED: July 6, 2006.
