The court declined supplemental jurisdiction over plaintiff's state law Unruh Act claim for disability discrimination and dismissed it without prejudice, finding the state claim predominated over the federal ADA claim and that comity and concerns about forum shopping supported dismissal.

What This Means for Workers:
While we cannot draw specific lessons from this particular case due to limited information, it serves as a reminder that workers have the right to file discrimination complaints under the ADA when they believe they've been treated unfairly because of a disability. The ADA protects employees from discrimination and requires employers to provide reasonable accommodations for workers with disabilities. If you face similar issues at work, you have legal options available, though each case depends on its specific circumstances. Consider consulting with an employment attorney if you believe you've experienced disability discrimination.
