McGill v. Wachovia Mortgage
LANORA MCGILL, PLAINTIFF,v.WACHOVIA MORTGAGE, FSB; AMERICAN MORTGAGE NETWORK, INC.; QUALITY LOAN SERVICE CORPORATION; MORTGAGE ELECTRONIC REGISTRATION SYSTEMS, INC.; CONSOLIDATED CAPITAL MORTGAGE; CAREY FRED CRONE; AND DOES 1-20 INCLUSIVE, DEFENDANTS.
This matter is before the court on the motions of defendants Wachovia Mortgage Bank, FSB, and American Mortgage Network, Inc. to dismiss plaintiff Lanora McGill's ("plaintiff") second amended complaint pursuant to Federal Rule of Civil Procedure ("FRCP") 12(b)(6).
Plaintiff's original and first amended complaint alleged claims for (1) violation of TILA; (2) violation of the California Rosenthal Act, California Civil Code §§ 1788 et seq.; (3) negligence; (4) violation of Real Estate Settlement Procedures Act ("RESPA"), 12 U.S.C. §§ 2605, et seq.; (5) breach of fiduciary duty; (6) fraud; (7) violation California Business & Professions Code § 17200 et seq.; (8) breach of contract; (9) breach of implied covenant of good faith and fair dealing; (10) wrongful foreclosure; and (11) violation of California Welfare & Institutions Code §§ 15600 et seq.. On March 4, 2010, the court granted defendants' motion to dismiss plaintiff's complaint with leave to amend.
However, plaintiffs filed a second amended complaint on March 18, 2010, which is devoid of any federal claims. Specifically, plaintiff's second amended complaint alleges claims for (1) fraud; (2) breach of contract; (3) breach of implied covenant of good faith and fair dealing; (4) negligence; (5) breach of fiduciary duty; (6) violations of California Business & Professions Code § 17200 et seq.; (7) violation of Civil Code § 2923.5 et seq.; (8) quiet title; and (9) violation of California Welfare & Institutions Code § 15600 et seq..
Subject to the conditions set forth in 28 U.S.C. § 1367(c), district courts may decline to exercise supplemental jurisdiction over state law claims. See Acri v. Varian Associates, Inc., 114 F.3d 999, 1000 (9th Cir. 1997)(en banc). The court's decision whether to exercise supplemental jurisdiction should be informed by values of "economy, convenience, fairness, and comity." Id. at 1001 (citations omitted). Further, primary responsibility for developing and applying state law rests with the state courts. Therefore, when federal claims are eliminated before trial, district courts should usually decline to exercise supplemental jurisdiction. See Carnegie-Mellon Univ. v. Cohill, 484 U.S. 343, 350 (1988); Gini v. Las Vegas Metropolitan Police Dept., 40 F.3d 1041, 1046 (9th Cir. 1994) ("[I]n the usual case in which federal-law claims are eliminated before trial, the balance of factors . . . will point toward declining to exercise jurisdiction over the remaining state law claims.") (quoting Schneider v. TRW Inc., 938 F.2d 986, 993 (9th Cir. 1991)). In accordance with 28 U.S.C. § 1367(c), the court declines to exercise supplemental jurisdiction over plaintiff's state law claims.
Accordingly, plaintiff's complaint is dismissed without prejudice.
