CASE NO. 4:25-CV-41 (CDL)
O R D E R
The 	Court 	previously 	ordered 	Plaintiff 	to 	show 	cause 	why
her 	claims 	under 	42 	U.S.C. 	§ 	1983 	against 	Stanley 	Kimble, 	Alva
Erkins, 	Mark 	Owens, 	Jr., 	and 	Ava 	Jackson-Davis 	should 	not 	be
dismissed 	because 	she 	did 	not 	plausibly 	allege 	any 	facts
suggesting 	that 	they 	acted 	under 	color 	of 	state 	law. 	The 	Court
warned 	Plaintiff 	that 	failure 	to 	show 	cause 	would 	result 	in
dismissal 	`of 	her 	§ 1983 	claims 	against 	these 	Defendants.
Plaintiff 	did 	not 	respond 	to 	the 	Court’s 	show 	cause 	order. 	The
Court 	finds 	that 	Plaintiff 	did 	not 	plausibly 	allege 	§ 	1983
claims 	against 	Kimble, 	Erkins, 	Owens, 	or 	Jackson-Davis.
Accordingly, 	the 	Court 	dismisses 	Plaintiff’s 	§ 1983 	claims
against those Defendants.
The 	now-dismissed 	§ 1983 	claims 	are 	the 	only 	claims 	over
which 	the 	Court 	had 	original 	jurisdiction. 	To 	the 	extent 	that
Plaintiff 	attempted 	to 	assert 	any 	state 	law 	claims 	against

Kimble, 	Erkins, 	Owens, 	and 	Jackson-Davis, 	the 	Court 	declines 	to
exercise 	supplemental 	jurisdiction 	over 	those 	claims, 	which 	are
dismissed without prejudice. 	See 28 U.S.C. § 1367(c)(3).
IT IS SO ORDERED, this 2nd day of June, 2026.
