Declining jurisdiction over unsettled state-law claims
Section 1367(c) permits a federal court with federal-question jurisdiction to decline supplemental jurisdiction over related state-law claims.
Harris v. Malone · filed 2022-02-09(c)
But when, as here, a federal court’s jurisdiction is based on the existence of a federal question in the complaint, the federal court can decline to exercise jurisdiction over the state-law claims. See 28 U.S.C. § 1367(c). This Court elected to do just that.Read the full opinion on CourtListener →
Section 1367(c) permits a court to dismiss state law claims without prejudice when the federal claims have been dismissed and the remaining claims involve difficult state law issues or a related pending state proceeding.
BWW Inc v. Brigham · filed 2022-02-11(c)
The court feels particularly encouraged to dismiss the state claims here because they likely turn on thorny issues of Alabama law, such as state- agent immunity. These state law issues are best left for state courts to decide. See United Mine Workers of America v. Gibbs, 383 U.S. 715, 726– 27 (1966) (“Certainly, if the federal claims are dismissed before trial, even though not insubstantial in a jurisdictional sense, the state claims should be dismissed as well. Similarly, if it appears that the state issues substantially predominate, whether in terms of proof, of the scope of the issues raised, or of the comprehensiveness of the remedy sought, the state claims may be dismissed without prejudice and left for resolution to state tribunals.”). Plus, ServPro has a pending claim before the Alabama Board of Adjustment that ServPro asked the Board to hold until this court resolved this case. (Doc. 27 at 9-15). Refusing to exercise jurisdiction over ServPro’s state law claims will thus hasten the Board’s decision on ServPro’s contract claim against JSU. So the court will dismiss ServPro’s state law claims without prejudice under 28 U.S.C. § 1367(c).Read the full opinion on CourtListener →

Nor is there any real dispute that the alleged assault and battery, which took place during the strike, bears sufficient factual relation to the events at issue in Count I to confer supplemental jurisdiction, as even the union concedes.Read the full opinion on CourtListener →
Section 1367(a) permits supplemental jurisdiction over related state-law claims, including claims involving an additional party.
Meihua v. Individuals, Partnerships identified in Schedule A · filed 2025-07-25(a)
Under § 1367, supplemental jurisdiction extends to “claims that involve the joinder or intervention of additional parties.” 28 U.S.C. § 1367(a). ... Forious’ tortious interference claim derives from Yan’s assertion of an infringement claim against Forious and Heshan KES’ alleged involvement in pursuing that claim. Yan does not object to the Court’s exercise of supplemental jurisdiction over this claim, and the Court similarly finds it appropriate to allow Forious to pursue this claim against the two parties together. Therefore, at this time, the Court finds it appropriate to exercise supplemental jurisdiction over the tortious interference claim.Read the full opinion on CourtListener →

A district court may decline supplemental jurisdiction over state law claims after dismissing all claims within its original jurisdiction, particularly when the case is in its early stages.
Bettis v. Town of Ontario, NY · filed 1992-09-17(a)
The only remaining issue, then, is whether to retain jurisdiction over plaintiffs’ pendent state law claims. I decline to do so. Under 28 U.S.C. § 1367(a), a district court has discretion to decline to exercise jurisdiction over a pendent claim if “the district court has dismissed all claims over which it has original jurisdiction ...” In practice, state law claims are ordinarily dismissed when all federal claims have been dismissed, particularly when the case is in its early stages.Read the full opinion on CourtListener →

Section 1367 permits a court to decline supplemental jurisdiction over state law claims at an early stage after dismissing the federal claims.
Protter v. Nathan's Famous Systems, Inc. · filed 1995-10-21(c)(3)
However, because the plaintiffs RICO claims must be dismissed, this Court lacks subject matter jurisdiction to hear the common law fraud and state statutory claims. Because this lawsuit is at such an early stage of litigation, the Court declines to assert supplemental jurisdiction over the state law claims under 28 U.S.C. § 1367, and these claims are also dismissed.Read the full opinion on CourtListener →

Section 1367(c)(3) permits a district court to dismiss supplemental state claims after the federal claim is dismissed at the outset, before discovery on the state claims.
White v. Central Vermont Public Service Corp. · filed 1996-09-20(c)(3)
Because the dismissal of the federal claim has occurred “at the threshold” of the case, and before the parties have engaged in discovery on the pendent claims, this Court exercises its discretion under 28 U.S.C. § 1367(c)(3) to dismiss the pendent state claims in Counts II through IV.Read the full opinion on CourtListener →
Section 1367(c)(3) permits a court to decline supplemental jurisdiction over remaining state law claims after dismissing the federal claims, particularly at an early stage when little judicial effort will be wasted.
Repp v. Oregon Health Sciences University · filed 1997-08-04(c)(3)
There is no reason to exercise supplemental jurisdiction over the remaining state law claims. This is a new action, so there will be little waste of judicial recourses by dismissing it at this early stage.Read the full opinion on CourtListener →

A district court may decline supplemental jurisdiction when it dismisses all claims over which it has original jurisdiction. 28 U.S.C. § 1367 (c)(3). Since the parties are in an early stage of the case and the federal claims have been dismissed, leaving no independent basis of jurisdiction over the remaining state claims, they will also be dismissed.Read the full opinion on CourtListener →

Ownby v. Cohen · filed 1998-09-08(c)(3)
After dismissal of the RICO counts, plaintiff is left with what amounts to a fairly straightforward claim for breach of contract. Because the remaining counts involve questions of state law and there is no diversity, this court will dismiss the remaining counts for lack of jurisdiction. Nothing about this case directs this court to exercise its discretion to retain the state law claims when the case has not proceeded past the motion to dismiss stage.Read the full opinion on CourtListener →
Section 1367(c)(3) permits a district court to decline supplemental jurisdiction over state law claims against defendants whose federal claims have been dismissed, even if federal claims against others remain, considering the litigation’s early stage and the state claims’ prospects.
Warren v. Fischl · filed 1999-01-09(c)(3)
While the Court notes that the entire complaint has not been dismissed, in its discretion, the Court declines to exercise jurisdiction over the remaining state-law claims due to the dismissal of the federal claims against these movants, the early stage of this litigation, and the remote possibility that the plaintiff would succeed on the merits of the state claim.Read the full opinion on CourtListener →
Section 1367(c)(3) permits a district court to decline supplemental jurisdiction over state law claims after dismissing all federal claims, with the early stage of litigation supporting dismissal without prejudice.
Estate of Brown v. Barian · filed 1999-04-02(c)(3)
Now that I have dismissed the plaintiffs’ federal claim under § 1983, I see no reason to retain jurisdiction to resolve the plaintiffs’ state law claims. This is not a situation where the parties have engaged in extensive discovery and have otherwise spent a lengthy period of time litigating this case in federal court. To the contrary, the defendants have not yet even answered the plaintiffs’ complaint. And the case is relatively new, having only been filed in September, 1998. Accordingly, I will DISMISS the plaintiffs’ state law claims, without prejudice, to refile the same in state court.Read the full opinion on CourtListener →
Dismissal for failure to state a federal claim
Section 1367(c)(3) permits a court to retain supplemental state law claims after dismissing all federal claims, but a pretrial dismissal for failure to state a claim creates a strong presumption against retention absent unusual circumstances.
Musson Theatrical, Inc., and Modernage Photo Service, Inc., for Themselves and All Others Similarly Situated v. Federal · filed 1998-01-15(c)(3)

Supplemental jurisdiction over state law claims will not be exercised when the complaint fails to state any cognizable federal claim.
Martinez v. State of Oregon · filed 2020-01-13
Although the Court may exercise supplemental jurisdiction over state law claims, plaintiff must first have a cognizable claim for relief under federal law. See 28 U.S.C. § 1367. Because the Court finds below that plaintiff fails to state any cognizable federal claims, the Court will not exercise supplemental jurisdiction over plaintiff's putative state law claims at this juncture.Read the full opinion on CourtListener →
Derivative claims anchoring class claims
Section 1367(a) allows a court with original jurisdiction over derivative claims to exercise supplemental jurisdiction over a related class claim that does not independently meet the diversity amount in controversy.
Geer v. Cox · filed 2003-08-20(a)
Count II of the complaint actually restates Count I as a derivative action for violation of § 271, and is part of the same “ease or controversy.” Accordingly, the Court will exercise supplemental jurisdiction over the class action claim asserted in Count I pursuant to § 1367, and Individual Defendants’ motion to dismiss is denied on these grounds.Read the full opinion on CourtListener →

Section 1367(c)(2) and (c)(4) allow a court to decline supplemental jurisdiction when individual proof on a state claim overshadows federal class claims and their combination presents exceptional circumstances.
In re Synergen, Inc. Securities Litigation · filed 1994-04-08(c)(2), (c)(4)
This state law claim tends to predominate over plaintiffs’ federal securities claims. Consequently, under 28 U.S.C. § 1367(c)(2) and (c)(4), I decline to exercise supplemental jurisdiction over plaintiffs’ state law claim. ... I further conclude that the combination of certifiable federal class claims with a non-eertifiable state claim is an exceptional circumstance which falls within the purview of § 1367(c)(4).Read the full opinion on CourtListener →
Section 1367(c) permits a court to decline supplemental jurisdiction over state-law class claims when the proposed class would be much larger than the related injury class and would require applying differing state laws.
Marino v. Sports Authority · filed 1996-09-20(c)
Furthermore, in the event that it is contended that the court has supplemental jurisdiction over the Plaintiffs’ proposed nationwide class of consumers seeking refunds on the ground that the Plaintiffs are also seeking, based on § 402A and common-law negligence, certification of a nation-wide class of consumers who suffered personal injury and/or property damage, the court would decline to exercise supplemental jurisdiction pursuant to 28 U.S.C. § 1367(c). The proposed nation-wide class of consumers seeking refunds based on state law breach of warranty and violations of state consumer protection laws would be considerably larger in number than the proposed class of consumers who suffered personal injury and/or property damage under § 402A and common-law negligence as a result of their Vitamaster Treadmills overheating and catching fire. The evidence presented to the court, as discussed hereinafter, indicates that the proposed class suffering personal injury and/or property damage consists of only three consumers. Moreover, the proposed class action for refunds presents the court with the problem of applying to the class the variations and differences in each of the fifty state’s breach of warranty and consumer protection laws.Read the full opinion on CourtListener →
Section 1367(c) permits a district court to decline supplemental jurisdiction when proposed class allegations substantially predominate over claims within its original jurisdiction or when difficulties administering the class action provide compelling reasons to relinquish jurisdiction.
Ameritech Mobile Communications, Inc. v. Computer Systems Solutions, Inc. · filed 1999-07-14(c)(2), (c)(4)
The Court concludes that Defendant’s proposed class allegations substantially predominate over the claims in which the Court has original jurisdiction. 28 U.S.C. § 1367(c)(2).

Section 1367(c)(4) permits a court to retain supplemental jurisdiction over state wage class claims alongside related FLSA collective claims when their common facts and the efficiency of a single proceeding favor doing so.
McLaurin v. Prestage Foods, Inc. · filed 2010-11-10(c)(4)
The closest question in this ease is whether supplemental jurisdiction should be declined under 28 U.S.C. § 1367(c)(4). ... The FLSA and state law claims are premised on the same facts and likely will succeed or fail together. Additionally, it is far more convenient for the parties to have their nearly identical claims resolved in one forum, despite the logistical problems inherent in such a lawsuit. As a result, the court will exercise supplemental jurisdiction over the state law claims in this ease.Read the full opinion on CourtListener →
Section 1367(c)(2) permits a court to decline supplemental jurisdiction when state-law class claims substantially predominate over the claims within its original jurisdiction.
Martin v. Dahlberg, Inc. · filed 1994-04-07(c)(2)
Section 1367(c)(2) provides that the Court may decline to exercise supplemental jurisdiction over a claim if “the claim substantially predominates over the claim or claims over which the district court has original jurisdiction.” The RICO claims of the four individual plaintiffs are insignificant compared with the class-wide relief potentially available to plaintiffs under the consumer protection laws. This is precisely the type of case where the Court should decline to extend federal judicial power.Read the full opinion on CourtListener →
Section 1367(c)(2) permits a district court to decline supplemental jurisdiction when state wage and hour class claims spanning many states substantially predominate over an FLSA claim.
Neary v. Metropolitan Property & Casualty Insurance · filed 2007-02-08(c)(2)
Accordingly, the Court finds that, given the broad range of state wage and hour statutes and issues implicated, such matters would “substantially predominate,” in addition to potentially raising “novel or complex” questions of state law, and thus it declines to exercise supplemental jurisdiction over the state class action claims, Counts 4 and 5, and those claims ■will be dismissed.Read the full opinion on CourtListener →
