Declining jurisdiction over unsettled state-law claims
Section 1367(c)(1) permits a federal court to decline supplemental jurisdiction when the state law claims raise novel and complex issues.
Gradisher v. Check Enforcement Unit, Inc. · filed 2001-02-28(c)(1)
In any event, this Court finds that the state law issues are novel and complex enough that this Court should decline to exercise its supplemental jurisdiction pursuant to 28 U.S.C. § 1367(c)(1) Court recognizes that the parties might have to pursue overlapping paths in state court and in this Court, but this Court also notes that the state claims merely raise additional legal theories of recovery for the same alleged wrongdoing and seek essentially the same scope of relief that could be granted by this Court.Read the full opinion on CourtListener →

Section 1367(c)(1) permits a court to decline supplemental jurisdiction over a state constitutional claim when deciding it would require interpreting state law with virtually no state court guidance.
Linnemeier v. Indiana University—Purdue University Fort Wayne · filed 2001-07-20(c)(1)
Supplemental jurisdiction may be declined when the court finds that the supplemental claim “raises a novel or complex issue of state law,” 28 U.S.C. § 1367(c)(1), or “in exceptional circumstances” that there are “compelling reasons for declining jurisdiction.” 28 U.S.C. § 1367(c)(4). ... Retaining this claim may require the Court to embark on an interpretation of Indiana’s Constitution, virtually unguided by state court precedent. As a matter of comity, whether the acts in question violate Indiana’s Constitution are best left to the province of Indiana’s state court judges. Accordingly, the court declines supplemental jurisdiction over Plaintiffs’ state law claim alleging violations of Indiana’s Constitution and that claim is hereby DISMISSED without prejudice.Read the full opinion on CourtListener →

Section 1367 permits supplemental jurisdiction over state claims that form the same case or controversy as federal claims, but allows a court to decline it for novel or complex state-law issues or when state claims substantially predominate.
Sacay v. RESEARCH FOUNDATION OF CITY UNIVER. OF NY · filed 2002-03-27(a), (c)(1), (c)(2)
28 U.S.C. § 1367(a) gives the district courts supplemental jurisdiction over claims "that are so related to claims in the action" over which the court has original jurisdiction "that they form part of the same case or controversy under Article III of the United States Constitution." Under that provision, this court will exercise supplemental jurisdiction over the state law retaliation claims of both plaintiffs. However, the court will not exercise supplemental jurisdiction over the state law discrimination claims. All federal discrimination claims have been dismissed. Unlike the state retaliation claims, the state discrimination claims are not "part of the same case or controversy" as the sole remaining federal claims, which are for retaliation. Even if they were, supplemental jurisdiction would be declined under 28 U.S.C. § 1367(c)(1) and (2). As the Second Circuit has recently noted, in Giordano, 274 F.3d at 754, New York State and City discrimination laws differ significantly from federal discrimination law; and they involve potentially complex and novel issues of state law. In addition, if they were not dismissed but went to trial, the State and City discrimination claims would substantially predominate over the federal retaliation claims. See id. Therefore, the State and City discrimination claims will be dismissed without prejudice.Read the full opinion on CourtListener →

Moreover, the Court concludes that compelling reasons counsel in favor of remanding the Remaining Claims to state court. ...

Hoste v. Shanty Creek Management, Inc. · filed 2002-07-17(c)(2)
Here, where a long-outstanding state law personal injury claim triable to a jury overwhelmingly predominates over any federal issues not triable to a jury, the court is inclined to order a partial remand of the former claim, even while it endeavors to resolve the latter. ... For the reasons stated in the court’s Opinion and Order on Plaintiffs Motion for Remand entered on this same date, and because plaintiffs personal injury claims against the named defendant Shanty Creek Management, Inc. (“Shanty Creek”) in the complaint filed in Michigan’s Antrim County Circuit Court action no. 93-6013-NO raise issues solely of state law, the court declines to exercise jurisdiction over those particular claims, pursuant to 28 U.S.C. §§ 1441(e) and 1367(c)(2).Read the full opinion on CourtListener →
