Uncertain original jurisdiction

Section 1367 permits a court to retain supplemental jurisdiction after the claim supporting original jurisdiction is dismissed when efficiency and economy of resources favor retention.

Lamont v. Winnebago Industries, Inc. · filed 2008-08-07(c)(3)

While the Lemon Law claim was still alive, it did not matter whether the Court had original jurisdiction over the Magnu-son-Moss claim since it could assert supplemental jurisdiction over the claim pursuant to 28 U.S.C. § 1367. ... Notwithstanding the foregoing, however, I conclude that the better course here is to retain jurisdiction and proceed to address the Magnuson-Moss claim. Considering the fact that the Court clearly has supplemental jurisdiction over the claim, and its original jurisdiction is only uncertain and not clearly lacking, and also the fact that the parties have already briefed the Magnuson-Moss issue, I conclude that the interests of efficiency and economy of resources warrant the exercise of discretion in favor of retaining jurisdiction.

Federal district courts may only exercise supplemental jurisdiction over those claims which are so related to those supporting original jurisdiction that they form part of the same case or controversy.

Indeed, the Court reads Reading’s complaint as one, cohesive Count: Reading’s references to his unused vacation days stand as evidence of his overall claim for retaliation.
