References to the ADA as the source of obligations under the Unruh Act does not transform the state law claim into a federal one. Wander v. Kaus, 304 F.3d 856, 859 (9th Cir. 2002). Plaintiff also fails to demand any injunctive relief— the only relief available under the ADA. The case is REMANDED tothe Superior Court of California, County of Los Angeles.

IT IS SO ORDERED.
