OPINION

Plaintiff filed this lawsuit asserting both federal

and state-law claims. This lawsuit is now before the

court on the recommendation of the United States

Magistrate Judge that plaintiff’s case be dismissed–-that

his federal claim be dismissed because he fails to state

a claim under federal law and that his state-law claim be

dismissed pursuant to 28 U.S.C. § 1367(c)(3), which

provides that a court may decline to exercise

supplemental jurisdiction over a state-law claim when the

federal claim has been resolved. Section 1367(d) further

Case 2:09-cv-00544-MHT-SRW Document 8 Filed 06/26/09 Page 1 of 2
provides that the applicable statute of limitations under

state law will be tolled 30 days so as to allow a

plaintiff time to re-file his state-law claim in state

court.

Also before the court are plaintiff’s objections to

the recommendation. After an independent and de novo

review of the record, the court concludes that

plaintiff’s objections should be overruled and the

magistrate judge’s recommendation adopted.

An appropriate judgment will be entered. 

DONE, this the 26th day of June, 2009.
