United States District Court

Northern District of California

UNITED STATES DISTRICT COURT

NORTHERN DISTRICT OF CALIFORNIA

SAN JOSE DIVISION

SCOTT JOHNSON,

Plaintiff,

v.

BRYANT OTTER, et al.,

Defendants.

Case No. 18-cv-01689-BLF 

ORDER TO SHOW CAUSE WHY 

CASE SHOULD NOT BE DISMISSED 

WITHOUT PREJUDICE FOR LACK 

OF SUBJECT-MATTER 

JURISDICTION OVER FEDERAL 

LAW CLAIMS

Concurrently with this Order, the Court issues an order (“concurrent order”) dismissing 

Plaintiff Scott Johnson’s Americans with Disabilities Act (“ADA”) claim against Defendant 

Thomas Roper for lack of subject-matter jurisdiction because the claim is moot. ECF 35. But the 

Court exercised supplemental jurisdiction over Plaintiff’s state law claim against Roper. On May 

2, 2018, the Clerk of the Court entered default against the only other defendant, Bryant Otter. 

ECF 10. Plaintiff is hereby ORDERED TO SHOW CAUSE why his ADA claim against Otter

should not be dismissed as moot, and in turn why the Court should not decline to exercise 

supplemental jurisdiction over the remaining state law claims, in light of the concurrent order and 

the case law cited therein. Plaintiff’s response is due on or before February 18, 2019.

IT IS SO ORDERED.

Dated: February 5, 2019
