However, subject matter jurisdiction over the third-party complaint would, be inconsistent with the jurisdictional requirements of § 1332, see 28 U.S.C. § 1367(b) (limitations on supplemental jurisdiction), and would deprive the court of subject matter jurisdiction, see Fed.R.Civ.P. 19 (“required joinder” of a party must not deprive the court of subject matter jurisdiction), because Third Generation and Clocktower Development are both Iowa citizens, so no diversity of citizenship exists as to a claim between those parties.Read the full opinion on CourtListener →

Hawkins v. Securitas Security Services USA, Inc. · filed 2011-11-16(c)(2)

Whether the state law claims “substantially predominate” turns not on “[a] simple disparity in numbers,” but on “the type of claim,” meaning that if “the state law claims essentially replicate the FLSA claims[,] they plainly do not predominate.” ... That is precisely the situation presented here, where Plaintiffs’ individual FLSA claims are, as a substantive matter, materially identical to the IMWL claim.Read the full opinion on CourtListener →

Plaintiffs argue that if personal jurisdiction can be established as to the tort claims, then personal jurisdiction as to the patent claims exists pursuant to the supplemental jurisdiction statute, 28 U.S.C. § 1367.

Forfeiture of objection to supplemental jurisdiction
A party may forfeit an objection to a district court retaining supplemental jurisdiction over state-law claims after all federal claims fall out before trial.

An objection to a district court’s discretionary exercise of supplemental jurisdiction under § 1367(c) is waived if it is not raised in the district court.
Leslie Kohler,plaintiff-Appellant v. Inter-Tel Technologies,defendant-Appellee · filed 2001-04-11(c)
Kohler has waived her objection to the district court’s discretionary exercise of supplemental jurisdiction by failing to raise it in the district court. ... The exercise of supplemental jurisdiction under § 1367(c) is therefore treated differently from Article III jurisdiction, which must be examined even when no party has raised it or even if raised for the first time on appeal.Read the full opinion on CourtListener →
A party who opposes dismissal of remaining state law claims under § 1367(c) waives an objection to the district court’s discretionary exercise of supplemental jurisdiction.
Carter v. Family and Child Treatment of Southern Nevada · filed 2011-11-23(c)
Before the district court, Carter “oppose[d] the dismissal without prejudice of his remaining state law claims” pursuant to 28 U.S.C. § 1367(c), and so “waived [his] objection to the district court’s discretionary exercise of supplemental jurisdiction.” Kohler v.

Section 1367(c)(3) permits a district court to retain related state claims after dismissing all federal claims, and a party can waive an objection to that discretionary choice by failing to develop the objection before the district court.

Innova Investment Group, LLC v. Village of Key Biscayne · filed 2024-05-29(c)
But Innova never asked the district court to decline supplemental jurisdiction over the state-law claim if the federal claims were dismissed. Because a district court’s de- cision to retain supplemental jurisdiction “may not be raised at any time [like] a jurisdictional defect,” Carlsbad Tech., Inc. v. HIF Bio, Inc., 556 U.S. 635, 639–40 (2009) (citation omitted), Innova forfeited its supplemental jurisdiction argument by not raising it below, see Rubinstein v. Yehuda, 38 F.4th 982, 995–96 (11th Cir. 2022) (conclud- ing that an objection to the district court’s exercise of supplemental jurisdiction raised for the first time on appeal was waived); cf.

Aggregated diversity claims
Section 1367(c)(3) does not authorize dismissal of remaining diversity claims after one aggregated claim is dismissed, because the aggregated claims all fall within the court’s original jurisdiction.
Wolde-Meskel v. Vocational Instruction Project Community Services, Inc. · filed 1999-01-22(c)(3)
This can have no bearing on aggregated claims, because (for one thing) the dismissal of an individual claim that was aggregated to create original jurisdiction, is emphatically not the dismissal of “all claims over which [the court] has original jurisdiction,” so long as it can be said that the court had on the filing-date original jurisdiction over the dismissed claim and the disaggregated claims that remain.Read the full opinion on CourtListener →
Section 1367(c)(3) does not permit a court to decline jurisdiction over a remaining state-law claim that formed part of aggregated claims establishing original diversity jurisdiction, even after other claims are dismissed.
Barefield v. HSBC Holdings PLC · filed 2018-12-07(c)(3)
The Court finds this reasoning persuasive and holds that the Court cannot decline to exercise supplemental jurisdiction over Plaintiff's sole remaining claim because the claim, as part of the bundle of claims that put more than the jurisdictional amount at issue and established original jurisdiction, was not supplemental at all.Read the full opinion on CourtListener →
Mandatory jurisdiction with additional parties
Section 1367(a) gives a district court supplemental jurisdiction over state claims arising from the same nucleus of operative facts as a federal claim, even when the state claims involve additional parties.
Alger v. Ganick, O'Brien & Sarin · filed 1999-02-09(a)
Without question, the state law claims arise from the same nucleus of operative facts. All of the claims involve Alger’s dispute over the amount and the means used to collect his two student loans. Under the mandatory language of section 1367(a), this court therefore has supplemental jurisdiction over the state law claims. Such jurisdiction exists notwithstanding the presence of additional parties such as MHEAC.Read the full opinion on CourtListener →

Hudson County Carpenters Local Union No. 6 v. V.S.R. Construction Corp. · filed 2000-12-29(a)
The individual defendants are however, subject to the court’s supplemental jurisdiction. ...

Section 1367 authorizes supplemental jurisdiction over claims against additional parties when those claims form part of the same constitutional case as claims within original jurisdiction; the district court retains discretion whether to exercise that jurisdiction.
Mendoza v. Zirkle Fruit Co. · filed 2002-09-03(a)
In 1990, Congress enacted § 1367 to provide such an express grant. ... Thus, to avoid dismissal for lack of federal subject matter jurisdiction, the employees must show that the state conspiracy claims against Selective Employment constitute part of the same constitutional case as the federal RICO claims against the growers. Assuming that the claims meet the Gibbs standard, the district court has the power to exercise supplemental jurisdiction. The decision to exercise that jurisdiction remains discretionary with the district court.Read the full opinion on CourtListener →

Tax Injunction Act considerations
Section 1367(c)(4) permits a court to decline supplemental jurisdiction over state law tax claims when deciding them would conflict with the federalism principles embodied in the Tax Injunction Act.
Southeastern Pennsylvania Transportation Authority v. Board of Revision of Taxes · filed 1999-04-08(c)(4)
Assuming we could exercise supplemental jurisdiction over the state law claims despite the Tax Injunction Act, we elect not to do so. Section 1367(c)(4) gives the court discretion to decline to exercise jurisdiction “in exceptional circumstances” when “there are other compelling reasons for declining jurisdiction.” We believe it would be contrary to the principles of federalism embodied in the Tax Injunction Act if we were to become involved in deciding whether a local tax is lawful under state law.Read the full opinion on CourtListener →
Relationship to ancillary jurisdiction

Section 1367 supplemental jurisdiction is unnecessary when § 1334 supplies related-to bankruptcy jurisdiction and cannot bypass the jurisdictional provisions of §§ 1334 and 157.
Ruby Evans by and through her Successor in Interest v. Windsor Vallejo Care Center, LLC · filed 2025-02-20(a)
Such “supplemental jurisdiction” is not necessary in light of Congress expressly providing for related to jurisdiction in 28 U.S.C. § 1334. To the extent that such supplemental jurisdiction exists, the facts, claims, pleadings, and factors weigh heavily for remand of the State Court Action to the State Court (and supplemental jurisdiction does not provide a "work-around" of the jurisdictional provisions in 28 U.S.C. §§ 1334 and 157 enacted by Congress).Read the full opinion on CourtListener →
Ancillary enforcement jurisdiction
Section 1367 supplemental jurisdiction is distinct from equitable ancillary jurisdiction to adjudicate disputes related to a court’s prior decrees.
United States v. Alpine Land & Reservoir Co. · filed 1999-04-08
We also reject Churchill County's argument that the district court lacked jurisdiction because the State Engineer cannot satisfy the test for supplemental jurisdiction under 28 U.S.C. § 1367. Supplemental jurisdiction under § 1367 is distinct from the equitable doctrine of ancillary jurisdiction, which allows a court to adjudicate related claims “to manage its proceedings, vindicate its authority, and effectuate its decrees.” Kokkonen v. Guardian Life Ins. Co., 511 U.S. 375, 380, 114 S.Ct. 1673, 128 L.Ed.2d 391 (1994). The latter is aL work here.Read the full opinion on CourtListener →

Declining jurisdiction over unsettled state-law claims
Section 1367 permits a federal court to decline supplemental jurisdiction over state-law claims, including a claim whose scope and damages remain unsettled under state law.
Carpenter v. Refrigeration Sales Corp. · filed 1999-05-05(c)
Pursuant to 28 U.S.C. § 1367, the Court declines to exercise jurisdiction over this claim and Carpenter’s motion for summary judgment is, thus, denied with respect to this claim. ... The Court is particularly disinclined to exercise jurisdiction over Carpenter's public policy claim. While it is clear that such a claim does exist under Ohio law, the nature and scope of any such claim is less clear. This is particularly so when one tries to determine the measure of damages available under such a claim. Where state law remains in the developmental stages, that development is best left to the state courts.Read the full opinion on CourtListener →
