Summary
The United States District Court for the Central District of California ordered the plaintiff to show cause why the court should exercise supplemental jurisdiction over claims under California's Unruh Civil Rights Act and any other state-law claims. The court also required the plaintiff and counsel to submit declarations addressing whether they qualify as high-frequency litigants and to identify the statutory damages sought. A response was due April 4, 2025, with failure to respond potentially resulting in dismissal of the action or state-law claims.
