Marbley Magistrate Judge Jolson ORDER On March 24, 2022, this Court issued an Opinion and Order denying Plaintiff’s Motion for Summary Judgment (ECF No. 68), granting in part Defendants’ Motion for Summary Judgment (ECF No. 69), and remanding Plaintiff’s remaining state law claims to the Monroe County Common Pleas Court. (See ECF No. 94). As detailed in that Opinion and Order, “[w]hen all federal claims are dismissed before trial, the balance of considerations usually will point to” dismissing the state law claims or remanding them to the state court where the action originated. Musson Theatrical v. Federal Express Corp., 89 F.3d 1244, 1254–55 (6th Cir. 1996).
