Defendant now moves for summary judgment. For the reasons below, we will grant Defendant's Motion on the federal law claims and decline to exercise supplemental jurisdiction over the remaining state law claims. The facts of this case are straight-forward.
Defendant is an auto-parts company.
In 1985, Plaintiff was hired by Defendant to work as a telemarketer, a position she held until she was terminated in 1998. Plaintiff forthrightly admits that throughout her 13 year employment with Mac Motors, she had difficulty arriving to work on time. She further states that, despite the obvious and consistent traffic problems she encountered, she was never able to figure out a way to get to work on time while in Defendant's employ. Mac Motors did not have an official, written attendance policy in place for the first several years of Plaintiff's employment. As a result, on the occasions that Plaintiff was late, she would be informally confronted by her supervisor and reminded of the need to be to work on time.
