Jose Moreno, Jr. v. Winchell's Donut House, et al.

Summary

The United States District Court for the Central District of California remanded the action to Los Angeles County Superior Court after the United States, the basis for federal removal jurisdiction, was dismissed. The court declined to exercise supplemental jurisdiction over the remaining state-law claims against the other defendants under 28 U.S.C. § 1367(c).
