OPINION AND ORDER

ADOPTING MAGISTRATE JUDGE'S MEMORANDUM AND RECOMMENDATION

Pending before the Court in the above-referenced proceeding is Defendant Taqueria Govea's Motion for Summary Judgment, Doc. 19, in which Defendant argues that Plaintiff is not covered by the Fair Labor Standards Act ("FLSA"). Fair Labor Standards Act, 29 U.S.C. § 201 et seq., and Judge Stacy's Memorandum and Recommendation that the Court grant the Taqueria Govea's Motion, Doc. 23. Plaintiff Angela Pinto ("Pinto") did not object to the Motion or the Memorandum and Recommendation. Thus, under Local Rule 7.4, the Motion and Memorandum and Recommendation are deemed unopposed.

Upon review, the Court agrees with the Magistrate Judge's conclusion that Pinto is not entitled to coverage under the FLSA and that the Court should decline to exercise supplemental jurisdiction over the remaining state law claims. Doc. 23 at 6, 9. Accordingly, the Court hereby

ORDERS that the Memorandum and Recommendation, Doc. 23, is ADOPTED. Defendant Taqueria Govea's Motion for Summary Judgment, Doc. 19, is GRANTED. The Court further

ORDERS that Pinto's FLSA claim be DISMISSED WITH PREJUDICE and the remaining state law claims be DISMISSED WITHOUT PREJUDICE. A final judgment will issue by separate order.
