Common nucleus of operative fact — through 2019

Section 1367(a) permits supplemental jurisdiction over a state-law claim that shares a common nucleus of operative fact with a federal claim that remains to be decided.

Winfield v. Citibank, N.A. · filed 2012-01-30(a)

Instead, at this time, plaintiff Shen has an individual claim under California law, over which the Court can properly exercise supplemental jurisdiction because the claim shares a common nucleus of operative fact with the FLSA claim that remains to be decided in this action.

Section 1367(a) permits supplemental jurisdiction over state-law claims when their facts substantially overlap with those of a federal claim or presentation of the federal claim would bring the state-claim facts before the court.

BLT Restaurant Group LLC v. Tourondel · filed 2012-02-22(a)

Rather, a sufficient relationship will be found if the facts pertinent to the federal and state claims substantially overlap or if “presentation of the federal claim necessarily [would bring] the facts underlying the state claim before the court.” ... In short, plaintiff satisfies the Article III test embodied in section 1367(a).

Kermode v. University of Mississippi Medical Center · filed 2012-11-16(a)

We conclude that the two claims have a “common nucleus of operative fact.” Gibbs, 383 U.S. at 725. The district court properly had federal- question jurisdiction over Kermode’s Ex parte Young claims and supplemental jurisdiction over the state law claims; it did not abuse its discretion by retaining jurisdiction over the state law claims.

Section 1367(a) requires comparing the facts underlying the federal and state claims to determine whether they share a common nucleus of operative fact; potential effects on compliance with a federal decree do not establish supplemental jurisdiction.

City of Atlanta v. City of Sandy Springs · filed 2012-11-19(a)

We take the nucleus of facts on which the federal question claims are based and compare it to the nucleus of facts on which the state law claims are based. We do not look at the results that may flow from the implications of finding that supplemental jurisdiction does not exist. It is not a results-oriented analysis, but a fact-oriented one.

De v. City of Chicago · filed 2012-12-14(a)

The Court concludes that De’s IHRA claims do derive from a common nucleus of operative facts as his § 1981 claim because they are all founded on the same allegedly discriminatory conduct, allegedly committed by the same defendants, under the same allegedly discriminatory conditions of employment at the CDOT. Therefore, the Court concludes that it does have subject matter jurisdiction over De’s national origin and sex discrimination claims brought under the IHRA pursuant to 28 U.S.C. § 1367.

Section 1367(a) permits supplemental jurisdiction over a single constitutional case or controversy whose claims share a common nucleus of operative facts, even as the relevant conduct crosses jurisdictional boundaries.

Shell Offshore, Inc. v. Greenpeace, Inc. · filed 2013-03-12(a)

The common nucleus of operative facts underlying Shell’s claim for injunctive relief do not change when its vessels traverse an invisible line separating U.S. territorial waters from the waters of the U.S. EEZ, nor at the moment when its rigs detach from the seabed; this is therefore a single “case or controversy” for the purposes of § 1367(a), and we conclude that the district court did not err in exercising jurisdiction over it.

Section 1367(a) requires a common nucleus of operative fact between state-law and federal claims; similar administration of separate plans does not suffice when the claims involve distinct legal issues and facts.

NJSR Surgical Center, L.L.C. v. Horizon Blue Cross Blue Shield of New Jersey, Inc. · filed 2013-10-24(a)

A proper pendent claim is one that is “so related to claims in the action within original jurisdiction that they form part of the same case or controversy under Article III.” 28 U.S.C. § 1367(a). The test is whether the claims have a “common nucleus of operative fact.” ... The legal issues in the federal and state claims, then, would be distinct. Moreover, the facts, even if Horizon’s administration of the two kinds of plans was similar, would not be identical. ... On this alternative ground, then, even if a waiver of sovereign immunity permitted the state-law contract claims to be asserted in federal court, I would decline to exercise supplemental jurisdiction over them.

Venable v. Hilcorp Energy Company · filed 2013-12-30(a)

The claims the Venables assert against LWCC in their amended com- plaint do not derive from the same nucleus of operative facts as does their neg- ligence claim against Hillcorp. LWCC’s potential waiver of § 933(g)’s written- consent requirement occasioned by its conduct during and after a settlement conference depends on facts that are completely different from those related to any torts committed by Hillcorp years before. The district court therefore could not have exercised supplemental jurisdiction over the claims the Venables bring against LWCC.

Because Nonmovants’ counterclaim requires the Court to resolve the very issue presented in the Interpleader Complaint, the Court has no trouble finding that the original claim and the counterclaim “stem from the same common nucleus of operative fact” such that they “form part of the same case or controversy.”

McNeilly v. City of Pittsburgh · filed 2014-08-22(a)

Both the breach of contract claim and the retaliatory conduct claim are based on the same “nucleus of operative facts”—defendants breached their contract and engaged in retaliatory conduct by failing to interview Plaintiff or give her good faith consideration for the Assistant Chief position—and would “ordinarily be expected to be tried in one judicial proceeding.” Therefore, this Court has supplemental jurisdiction over Count I of Plaintiffs Amended Complaint.

The district court held that if Olson’s other state-law claims were not preempted, they arose out of the same set of facts as the claim for breach of a written contract and therefore were properly before the court.

Birdo v. Gomez · filed 2016-10-17(a)

Here, Plaintiffs claims— both state and federal — derive from the same underlying act: Plaintiffs October 2012 hunger strike. All of the purported misconduct occurred within a limited time-frame (between February 3, 2013 and March 7, 2013), and was allegedly inspired by the same motive to break Plaintiffs resolve. While some evidence regarding each claim will undoubtedly be unique, other evidence — including details surrounding Plaintiffs strike and Stateville’s hunger strike procedures — will overlap.

The Court agrees that it would be inappropriate to exercise supplemental jurisdiction over Defendants’ counterclaim.

It is entirely possible for MMA to prove its claims of trade secret misappropriation without ever reaching the facts relating to Mr. Donovan’s actions undertaken as Custodian, and it is entirely possible for Mr. Harvey to prove his counterclaims relating to Mr. Donovan’s actions as Custodian without ever touching upon the facts relating to his actions involving MMA’s trade secrets. Indeed, it is difficult to see how the two sets of claims share any common facts (beyond basic background facts about the existence of MMA and Mr. Harvey’s ownership and employment there).

Section 1367(a) permits supplemental jurisdiction over off-campus assault and battery claims when the alleged conduct is highly relevant to assessing a college's response under Title IX.

Pogorzelska v. VanderCook College of Music · filed 2020-03-02(a)

Here, the overlap between the investigation into the claim and the facts of the sexual battery allegation is both clear and strong. We follow Ammerman’s reasoning and hold that the factual allegations underlying the extent of Ballenger’s conduct are highly relevant to assess whether VanderCook’s response was appropriate. See Ammerman, 54 F.3d at 425. ... Thus, we hold that accepting supplemental jurisdiction over Plaintiff's state tort claims of assault and battery claims against Ballenger would be appropriate. See 28 U.S.C. § 1367(a). We accept supplemental jurisdiction over those claims.

However, because federal claims survive against Sears and Diaz, it is clear that any state law claims Plaintiff asserts against Self Help and Soto, which arise out of the same “nucleus of operative fact,” are “properly subject to [this] [c]ourt’s supplemental jurisdiction.” Montefiore, 642 F.3d at 333.

Section 1367 requires a common nucleus of operative facts rather than mere factual background and permits declining supplemental jurisdiction when state claims would predominate over federal claims.

Bland v. Edward D. Jones & Co., L.P. · filed 2020-03-30(a), (c)(2)

Plaintiffs’ allegedly inadequate training may provide “factual background” for their limited duties as FA’s, but that is not enough to confer supplemental jurisdiction. ... Moreover, even if the FLSA and contract claims did arise out of the same nucleus of operative fact, the Court would decline to exercise its jurisdiction over the state claims as they would dominate the federal claims.

Section 1367(a) does not confer supplemental jurisdiction over state claims causally linked to federal claims when their evidentiary overlap is insufficient to establish a common nucleus of operative facts.

As there is insufficient evidentiary overlap in this case, no common nucleus of operative facts exists such that the state claims forms part of the same case or controversy with the federal claim.

The Court also exercises its supplemental jurisdiction over the third-party claim against G&R Family Investments because the claim against G&R is “so related to claims in the action within such original jurisdiction that they form part of the same case or controversy under Article III.” 28 U.S.C. § 1367(a). “Claims form part of the same case or controversy when they ‘derive from a common nucleus of operative fact.’” McCoy v.
