Brown v. County of Solano · filed 2023-11-02(a)

Thus, because plaintiff’s federal claim brought against defendants County of Solano and Collins and her state law claim brought against defendant SDI involve distinct sets of facts arising from events that happened during different time periods and involved different people, the court concludes that they fail to satisfy the common nucleus of operative facts test.

Because the Court declined to dismiss Plaintiff’s DTSA claim, federal question jurisdiction is present under 28 U.S.C. § 1331, and supplemental jurisdiction exists under 28 U.S.C. § 1367 as the state law claims arise from the same “common nucleus of operative facts” as the DTSA claim and “would ordinarily be expected to” be tried “in one judicial proceeding.”

Herbert Core Drill, LLC v. Brothers Mechanical, Inc. · filed 2025-07-28(a)

In addition, because there is federal question jurisdiction over the FLSA claim asserted by Mr. Hector (and there was diversity jurisdiction at least over the fraud claim and federal question jurisdiction over the prior FLSA claim asserted by HCD), the court can exercise supplemental jurisdiction pursuant to 28 U.S.C. § 1367(a) over additional claims “that are so related to claims in the action within such original jurisdiction that they form part of the same case or controversy.” ... Thus, Mr. Hector’s FLSA claim and HCD’s claims at least share the “loose factual connection” required for claims to arise from a common nucleus of operative facts.

Section 1367(c)(4) permits a court to decline supplemental jurisdiction over an ADA-based Unruh Act claim when exceptional threats to federal-state comity favor dismissal, especially at an early stage of litigation.

Whitaker v. Pita Hub Inc. · filed 2022-04-19(c)(4)

28 U.S.C. § 1367(c)(4) authorizes a district court to “decline to exercise supplemental jurisdiction over a claim . . . if . . . in exceptional circumstances, there are other compelling reasons for declining jurisdiction.” ... Supplemental jurisdiction is also not appropriate in this case. Plaintiff concedes that his ADA claim for injunctive relief is moot. The fairness and comity considerations in light of California’s “carefully crafted reforms in this area” are present here.

Retaining related state claims when the ADA claim survives

Section 1367(c) permits a court to retain a state-law claim predicated on a surviving federal claim when no novel or complex state-law issue is identified and hearing both claims together is more efficient.

Whitaker v. Uma & Tej Inc. · filed 2022-01-07(c)

However, defendant does not identify any such issues. Moreover, ... because the ADA cause of action survives and because the Unruh Act claim is predicated on the purported ADA violation, it is more efficient for a single court to hear both claims.

Qualitative assessment of substantial predominance

Under § 1367(c)(2), whether state-law claims substantially predominate is a qualitative inquiry that considers their complexity, judicial demands, and importance relative to the federal claims.

Clark v. Milam · filed 1993-02-12(c)(2)

The question comes down to “whether the state law claims are more complex or require more judicial resources to adjudicate or are more salient in the case as a whole than the federal law claims.” ... This is a qualitative rather than quantitative inquiry.

The fact that section 157(a), however, permits the district court to refer to the bankruptcy judges for the district only “any or all cases under title 11 and any or all proceedings arising under title 11 or arising in or related to a case under title 11” – language that is exactly coextensive with the grant of the subject-matter jurisdiction under section 1334 and does not mention any supplemental jurisdiction – strongly suggests that section 1367’s supplemental jurisdiction does not apply to section 1334’s bankruptcy jurisdiction.

The court’s ruling today necessarily concerns only such jurisdiction as can be transferred by a district court to this court pursuant to § 157. Plainly, claims that can be heard only pursuant to § 1367 do not fall into this category. POA cannot invoke § 1367 before this court.

Section 1367(c)(2) does not treat a simple difference in the number of state and federal plaintiffs as substantial predominance of the state claims.

Ervin v. OS Restaurant Services, Inc. · filed 2011-01-18(c)(2)

A simple disparity in numbers should not lead a court to the conclusion that a state claim “substantially predominates” over the FLSA action, as section 1367(c) uses that phrase.

A larger number of state law claims does not by itself establish that they substantially predominate when the federal claim relies on virtually the same facts.

ALLEN EX REL. ALLEN v. Devine · filed 2009-11-19(c)(2)

However, Section 1367 provides that the Court’s exercise of supplemental jurisdiction is discretionary when state law claims “substantially predominate[ ] over the claim or claims over which the district court has original jurisdiction.” Here, the state law claims are more numerous than the plaintiffs federal claim. Nevertheless, it is not obvious that they predominate over the plaintiffs federal claim, as the federal claim relies on virtually all of the same factual predicates as the state law claims.

Remand unnecessary when no state claim survives

Section 1367(c)(3) permits a court to remand supplemental state-law claims after dismissing the federal claims, but does not require remand when the state-law claims fail to state a claim.

Collins v. Boston Public Health Commission · filed 2022-02-11(c)(3)

Finally, to the extent the complaint raises state-law tort claims against BPHC, the Court could remand pursuant to 28 U.S.C. § 1367(c)(3). ... However, as discussed below, the complaint fails to state any state-law claims against BPHC. Remand is therefore unnecessary, and BPHC’s motion to dismiss will be granted.

Antitrust class claims with a federal anchor

Limits after dismissal without prejudice

Section 1367(d) tolls the limitations period for a claim within supplemental jurisdiction while it is pending in federal court and for thirty days after dismissal, unless state law provides a longer period.

Borke v. Warren · filed 2022-02-22(d)

Thus, a dismissal without prejudice will not harm Borke because the applicable state limitations periods have been tolled while his state-law claims have been pending here and will be tolled for thirty days following dismissal of the state- law claims.

Pearson v. Shriners Hospitals · filed 2025-04-02(c)(3)

We still note that “[a] district court may decline to exercise supplemental jurisdiction over state law claims if it has dismissed all claims over which it has original jurisdiction.” McCreary v. Richardson, 738 F.3d 651, 660-61 (5th Cir. 2013) (citing 28 U.S.C. § 1367(c)(3)). “When [it] exercises its discretion to dismiss state law claims,” however, “it must do so without prejudice so that the plaintiff may refile in the appropriate state court.” Id. (citing Bass v. Parkwood Hosp., 180 F.3d 234, 246 (5th Cir. 1999)). Here, the district court dismissed the Former Employees’ state-law claims with prejudice but should have done so without prejudice. See id. For that reason, we modify its judgment of dismissal as to those claims to be without prejudice and affirm as modified.

Green v. Sanofi Pasteur Inc. · filed 2022-07-14(c)(3)

Here, we have found that Green’s federal claims against Sanofi are subject to dismissal. Therefore, in the exercise of discretion in this district, we decline to assert supplemental jurisdiction over potential ancillary state law claims in this case where the federal claim brought before us failed as a matter of law. Accordingly, the PHRC claim against Sanofi is dismissed without prejudice for the plaintiff to file in state court. While we acknowledge the gravity of the plaintiff’s allegations, we also recognize that Green’s failure to timely pursue these allegations has legal consequences. We are constrained by the stringent exhaustion standards laid out by the governing federal statute and conclude that the defendant is entitled to judgment as a matter of law. As to the federal claims, the Title VII claims are time-barred and are dismissed with prejudice. To the extent that the plaintiff brings state claims against Sanofi, we decline to exercise supplemental jurisdiction over the matter and thus dismiss Green’s PHRC claims without prejudice to her filing in state court.

However, a court may exercise supplemental jurisdiction under 28 U.S.C. § 1367(c) if it determines that doing so is proper after “balanc[ing] the traditional ‘values of judicial economy, convenience, fairness, and comity.’” Kolari v.

Here, jurisdiction is proper because “there are no material differences between the standards that apply to Lanham Act claims and the standards that apply to New York trademark and unfair competition claims.” Gayle, 2018 WL 2059657, at *4. Accordingly, since it would be inefficient to allow Gayle to bring these same claims in state court, the Court dismisses Gayle’s state claims for the same reasons it dismisses his Lanham Act claims.
