JOHN MENDES, an individual;

By Memorandum and Order filed October 6, 2005, this Court

dismissed Plaintiff’s sole federal claim, which alleged a

violation of 42 U.S.C. § 1983 against Defendants herein. 

Plaintiff was granted twenty (20) days leave to amend but has not

filed any amended pleading. Consequently, Plaintiff’s First

Cause of Action, for violation of § 1983, is dismissed, with

prejudice.

Because this Court, in the exercise of its discretion,

elects not to exercise supplemental jurisdiction over the

remaining six causes of action, which all allege claims sounding

under state law, only, those claims are dismissed, without

prejudice. Schneider v. TRW, Inc., 938 F.2d 986, 993-94 (9th

Cir. 1991)(district court has wide discretion in deciding whether

or not to retain supplemental jurisdiction after dismissal of the

federal claim); Bass v. Parkwood Hosp., 180 F.3d 234, 246 (5th

Cir. 1999) (dismissal of state claims upon federal court’s

declination of supplemental jurisdiction should be without

prejudice). The Clerk of the Court is hereby directed to close

this case. 

IT IS SO ORDERED.

DATED: February 2, 2006
