UNITED STATES DISTRICT COURT

SOUTHERN DISTRICT OF CALIFORNIA

HOUSE OF LEBANON 

ORGANIZATION, INC., 

Plaintiff,

v.

HOUSE OF PACIFIC RELATIONS 

INTERNATIONAL COTTAGES. INC., 

et al.,

Defendants.

Case No.: 3:17-cv-00232-L-BGS

ORDER REMANDING CASE TO 

STATE COURT

Defendants removed to this court on the basis of federal question jurisdiction. The 

basis of this jurisdiction was Plaintiff’s 42 U.S.C. § 1981 claim. Because the Court has 

since dismissed the §1981 claim, no federal question remains. Considering the judicial 

values of economy, convenience, fairness, and comity, the Court finds that state court is 

the proper venue for this recently filed action. Accordingly, the Court exercises its 

discretion under 28 U.S.C. § 1367 (c)(3) by declining to extend supplemental jurisdiction 

over Plaintiff’s remaining claims. This action is hereby remanded to state court.
