G. DANIEL WALKER,

Plaintiff,

v.

W. L. MUNIZ, et al.,

Defendants.

Case No. 19-cv-01430-SI 

ORDER DISMISSING 

FEDERAL CLAIMS AND 

REMANDING ACTION TO 

STATE COURT

G. Daniel Walker commenced this pro se prisoner’s civil action by 

filing a complaint in San Francisco County Superior Court. Defendants 

then removed the action to federal court because the complaint’s claims for 

violations of Walker’s rights under the U.S. Constitution provided federal 

question jurisdiction.1 

Pursuant to 28 U.S.C. § 1915A, the court reviewed the complaint, 

found that it did not state a federal claim upon which relief could be 

granted, and dismissed it with leave to amend. Docket No. 10. The court 

gave extensive directions about amendments that needed to be made and 

set a deadline of July 15, 2019 for Walker to file an amended complaint. 

Id. at 17. The court cautioned that “[f]ailure to file the amended complaint 

by the deadline will result in the dismissal of the action.” Id. Walker filed 

a motion to vacate the order of dismissal with leave to amend. The court 

denied that motion, and extended the deadline for Walker to file an

amended complaint to September 6, 2019. Docket No. 14 at 3. Walker did 

not file an amended complaint, and the deadline by which to do so has 

passed. For the foregoing reasons, and the reasons stated in the order of 

dismissal with leave to amend, the federal claims for relief are 

DISMISSED for failure to state a claim upon which relief may be granted. 

The federal claims for relief are the claims for relief asserted under 42 

U.S.C. § 1983, Title II of the Americans With Disabilities Act, 42 U.S.C. 

§ 12131 et seq. (“ADA”), and § 504 of the Rehabilitation Act, as amended 

and codified in 29 U.S.C. § 701 et seq. The dismissal of the federal claims 

for relief is without leave to amend; further leave to amend is not granted 

because it would be futile as the court has explained the deficiencies in the 

claims and Walker was unable or unwilling to correct those deficiencies.

With the dismissal of the federal claims for relief, only state law 

claims remain. The court declines to exercise supplemental jurisdiction 

over the state law claims. See 28 U.S.C. § 1367(c).

The action is remanded to the San Francisco County Superior Court 

for such other and further proceedings as that court deems proper. The 

clerk shall close the file and send the necessary materials to the San 

Francisco County Superior Court for the remand. The clerk shall make 

note on those materials that this action was originally filed in San Francisco 

County Superior Court as Case No. CGC 17-560446. 

IT IS SO ORDERED.

Dated: September 24, 2019
