Time-barred state law claims

Section 1367(c) permits a court to remand remaining state law claims when the interests of justice favor their resolution by a state court familiar with state law.

Lowe v. Unifi, Inc. · filed 2003-10-28(c)

Plaintiffs only remaining claims are against Defendant Stovall individually for battery, IIED, and NIED. Claims such as these are routinely tried in the state courts and traditionally present substantive questions exclusive to state law. It is in the interests of justice that such claims be decided by the court most familiar with North Carolina state law. See 28 U.S.C. § 1367(c). Therefore, the court will remand these remaining claims against Defendant Stovall to the General Court of Justice, Superior Court Division, Guilford County, North Carolina.

The district court had discretion to exercise supplemental jurisdiction over plaintiffs' pendent state-law claims. 28 U.S.C. § 1367(a), (c)(3); see also Cinel v. Connick, 15 F.3d 1338, 1344 (5th Cir.), cert. denied, 513 U.S. 868, 115 S.Ct. 189, 130 L.Ed.2d 122 (1994).

Amatucci v. Hamilton, et al. · filed 2007-06-25(c)

Having resolved Amatucci’s federal claims in favor of defendants, the court must next determine whether it is appropriate to exercise supplemental jurisdiction over her state law claims. Given that discovery has closed, the parties have submitted dispositive motions, the case is scheduled for trial in approximately three weeks, and plaintiff’s claims do not raise any novel or complex issues of state law, the court concludes that, in the exercise of its discretion, it is appropriate to address plaintiff’s state law claims.

Johnson v. Builders Firstsource Southeast Group, LLC · filed 2023-01-09(c)(3)

The ability to “decline to exercise supplemental jurisdiction in limited circumstances” such as when “the court dismisses the claims over which it has original jurisdiction” remains in the court’s discretion. ... While Johnson is correct that the court could refuse to exercise its supplemental jurisdiction, a review of the circumstances warrants retaining jurisdiction. ...

Guillermo V. Franceskin v. Credit Suisse · filed 2000-06-05(a)

Even if we assume that we have diversity jurisdiction over appellant's claims against Lloyds, those claims were brought separately and are legally distinct, albeit now consolidated for purposes of convenience.

Heartland By-Products, Inc. v. United States · filed 2004-07-01(a)

Furthermore, if there were, Heartland’s analogy fails since exercising supplemental jurisdiction over a new claim would require an action pending before the court over which it presently has an independent basis for jurisdiction.
