Declining supplemental jurisdiction — 2010–2019

Section 1367(c)(3) permits a district court to decline supplemental jurisdiction over remaining state law claims after the claims supporting original jurisdiction are eliminated, considering judicial economy, convenience, fairness, and comity.

MHS Capital v. Goggin · filed 2016-06-23(c)(3)

In determining that the exercise of supplemental jurisdiction would not be warranted in this matter, the Court observed in the June 13 Order that under 28 U.S.C. Section 1367(c)(3), a district court “may decline to exercise supplemental jurisdiction over a claim if the district court has dismissed all claims over which it has original jurisdiction.” (Dkt. No. 24 at 11.) ... For the reasons stated in the June 13 Order and mentioned above, the Court is persuaded that the claims in the Amended Complaint should be remanded to New York Supreme Court and that the exercise of supplemental jurisdiction over the state law claims in the Complaint is not warranted.

Section 1367(c) permits a district court to decline supplemental jurisdiction over remaining state-law claims when unsettled state law and related state proceedings outweigh the inconvenience of dismissal late in the case.

AES Puerto Rico, L.P. v. Trujillo-Panisse · filed 2016-07-27(c)

Therefore, even though the advanced stage of the litigation and the costs of translating documents into English weigh in favor of the Court exercising supplemental jurisdiction, those concerns are minimized by the litigation of similar issues in related cases in Commonwealth courts and offset by the comity concerns presented by the unsettled nature of the law relating to the Puerto Rico preemption claim. Accordingly, the Court DECLINES to exercise supplemental jurisdiction over AES-PR’s Commonwealth claims.

Section 1367(c) did not justify declining jurisdiction over state law claims when the plaintiff was permitted to amend his federal claim and no basis for excluding the state claims was identified.

Greenland v. United States · filed 2016-08-22(c)

As Greenland pointed out in his first set of objections, the situation was different from those in which it may be appropriate under 28 U.S.C. § 1367(c) to decline to exercise supplemental jurisdiction. As Greenland was permitted to amend his federal claim, it is unclear why he was not permitted to reassert his state law claims.

And, nothing in this opinion precludes the district court from invoking § 1367(c) after we remand the case back to it.

Section 1367(c)(2) permits a district court to decline supplemental jurisdiction when state law claims substantially predominate; the court should reconsider exercising it when the remaining federal claim is limited and state law questions may be unsettled.

Patel v. Hall · filed 2017-03-01(c)(2)

On remand, the district court should first reconsider whether it should decline to exercise pendent jurisdiction over the state law claims and instead dismiss them without prejudice in light of the limited nature of the sole remaining federal claim in this action and the arguable existence of some unsettled questions of state law. See 28 U.S.C. § 1367(c)(2) (providing that a district court may decline to exercise pendent jurisdiction over a state law claim that “substantially predominates over the claim or claims over which the district court has original jurisdiction”).

Section 1367(c) permits a court to decline supplemental jurisdiction when state-law claims would predominate over a single federal claim, especially after that federal claim is resolved.

Huerth v. Anthem Insurance Companies · filed 2017-06-26(c)

Here, were I to retain jurisdiction, Huerth’s six claims against MHC, which raise various questions of state law, would predominate over his single ERISA claim against the Plan Defendants. This is particularly so given the disposition of his one federal claim. Accordingly, given the nature and number of state law claims here, a remand of Huerth’s claims against MHC is the more appropriate course of action.

But, the courts of those states are better positioned to address the nuances of their own statutes, to the extent preclusion doctrines would permit them to be re-asserted in state court. Therefore, this Court declines to exercise supplemental jurisdiction over the claimed violations of state false-claims statutes, too.

Section 1367(c)(4) treats forum manipulation, comity, fairness, judicial economy, and convenience as exceptional-circumstances considerations when deciding whether to remand state-law claims.

League of Women Voters of New Hampshire, et al. v. New Hampshire Secretary of State, et al. NH Democratic Party v. New H · filed 2017-09-03(c)(4)

To be sure, as the defendants point out, there is authority for the proposition that it is, see Mass. v. V & M Mgmt., Inc., 929 F.2d 830, 835-36 (1st Cir. 1991), along with comity, fairness, judicial economy, and convenience. Camelio, 137 F.3d at 672. These factors are best understood, however, not as the primary controlling considerations on a remand of state law claims, which are set forth under 28 U.S.C. § 1367(c) and analyzed above, but as “exceptional circumstances” under the last statutory factor, § 1367(c)(4).

Upon balancing the relevant factors: this case is in the earliest stages (having been filed less than one (1) month ago in federal court); there is no apparent judicial economy in having this Court retain the case; comity concerns weigh in favor of remand as only state law issues remain which are ideally decided by the state court; and there are no apparent inconvenience concerns among the parties due to the parties' joint remand request.

Section 1367(c)(4) allows a court to decline supplemental jurisdiction over permissive counterclaims when compelling reasons favor their dismissal from the federal action.

Poole v. Dhiru Hospitality, LLC · filed 2019-08-15(c)(4)

To determine whether to exercise supplemental jurisdiction over a state-law claim, the Court considers whether: (1) the claim raises a novel or complex issue of state law, (2) the claim substantially predominates over the claim or claims over which the district court has original jurisdiction, (3) the district court has dismissed all claims over which it has original jurisdiction, or (4) in exceptional circumstances, there are other compelling reasons for declining jurisdiction. Id. § 1367(c). ... The Court further agrees that, to the extent they may be permissive counterclaims, they should be dismissed. ... Thus, Defendant’s counterclaims, which do not directly relate to Plaintiff’s wage claims and instead would act as set-offs, should be dismissed.
