Novel state law and exceptional circumstances

Section 1367(c) permits a court to decline supplemental jurisdiction over foreign-law claims when adjudicating them would substantially restart lengthy litigation.

In Re Alstom SA Securities Litigation · filed 2010-09-14(c)(1), (c)(4)

The Court, on the thin presentation made by Plaintiffs to date, is not persuaded that it should exercise supplemental jurisdiction over these claims, as doing so would essentially restart substantial portions of this seven-year old litigation.

Section 1367(c) permits a court to decline supplemental jurisdiction over a state-law claim raising a novel or complex state-law issue and compelling federalism concerns.

John Does 1-4 v. Snyder · filed 2013-03-18(c)(1), (c)(4)

Even assuming, arguendo, that Count VIII states a claim under Headlee and § 1367(a)’s supplemental jurisdiction standard is satisfied, the court will decline to exercise supplemental jurisdiction on the grounds that the claim raises a “novel or complex issue of State law,” 28 U.S.C. § 1367(c)(1), and the claim presents other “compelling reasons” to decline jurisdiction under § 1367(c)(4).

Section 1367(c)(1) and (4) permit a district court to decline supplemental jurisdiction over state constitutional claims when their resolution would require complex state law analysis and parallel state litigation threatens duplicative effort, comity, and inconsistent results.

Section 1367(c) permits a district court to decline supplemental jurisdiction over a state law claim that raises an unresolved issue of state law implicating significant state interests, particularly when the state prefers to resolve that claim through its own procedures.

Carver v. Nassau County Interim Finance Authority · filed 2013-09-20(c)(1), (c)(4)

This case concededly presents an unresolved question of state law and is also one in which there are exceptional circumstances which provide compelling reasons for declining jurisdiction. ... Whether or not Article 78 can itself deprive the district court of jurisdiction over claims brought under its provisions, the state preference to try Article 78 claims in state court bears on our assessment of whether the district court abused its discretion in deciding nonetheless to exercise pendent jurisdiction here, where other factors, too, strongly support declining that jurisdiction. We hold that the district court abused its discretion in exercising pendent jurisdiction.

Section 1367(c) allows a court to retain supplemental jurisdiction when a state-law question is not too novel or complex and defending different claims in one case does not present compelling reasons to decline jurisdiction.

Myers v. Americollect Inc. · filed 2016-07-06(c)(1), (c)(4)

But there is no need for the court to decide that question to conclude that the question is not so novel or complex that the court should decline to exercise its supplemental jurisdiction to answer it. ... Aurora argues that these facts present the kind of “exceptional circumstances” and “compelling reasons” that require the court to decline supplemental jurisdiction. The court disagrees. ... At this point, the court will not decline to exercise supplemental jurisdiction over the WCA claim against Aurora.

Section 1367(c)(1) and (4) permits a court to decline supplemental jurisdiction over a state-law claim when unsettled state law, related state-court proceedings, the risk of inconsistent results, and considerations of judicial economy, convenience, fairness and comity favor dismissal.

Mosier v. State University of New York · filed 2020-09-24(c)(1), (c)(4)

In conjunction with its ruling on the SUNY Defendants’ Motion, considering the cumulative weight of the following factors, the Court finds it eminently prudent to dismiss Mosier’s § 296(6) Claim without prejudice to be heard in tandem with her § 296(4) Claim in state court and, therefore, unnecessary to resolve the parties’ opposing positions regarding whether a single individual can aid and abet his own allegedly discriminatory conduct: ... as well as considerations of judicial economy, convenience, fairness and comity, see generally 28 U.S.C. § 1367(c)(1) & (4).

Section 1367(c)(1) and (c)(4) allow a court to decline supplemental jurisdiction over novel or complex state-law claims when exceptional circumstances provide compelling reasons to do so.

VAMOS, Concertacion Ciudadana Inc. v. Commonwealth of Puerto Rico · filed 2020-09-24(c)(1), (c)(4)

Notwithstanding the Pennhurst doctrine, the Court would still decline to exercise supplemental jurisdiction over the claims based on Puerto Rico law. To the extent the plaintiffs wish to assert that the constitutional rights in the Puerto Rico Constitution have a different scope or effect than their counterparts in the Federal Constitution, the claims raise novel or complex issues of state law. 28 U.S.C. § 1367(c)(1). The circumstances are also exceptional and present compelling reasons for declining jurisdiction, id. § 1367(c)(4), because plaintiffs provide absolutely no supporting argument on a distinct scope or effect of the Puerto Rico constitutional provision, and the short timeline of this case does not allow the Court to properly address the issues.

Section 1367(c)(1) and (4) allow a court to decline supplemental jurisdiction over a state-law claim when uncertainty about its administrative prerequisites presents a novel or complex state-law issue or another compelling reason.

Smith v. American Electric Power Service Corporation · filed 2021-04-14(c)(1), (c)(4)

It is unclear to the court if it may exercise jurisdiction over a claim pursuant to Virginia Code § 40.1-51.2:1 when the lawsuit is filed before the issuance of a determination letter pursuant to § 40.1-51.2:2, and the determination letter is then issued during the pendency of the lawsuit – and, in this case, after a motion for summary judgment is filed. Given this uncertainty, the court will exercise its discretion to decline supplemental jurisdiction over this claim. See § 1367(c)(1), (4) (providing that a court may decline to exercise supplemental jurisdiction when a claim “raises a novel or complex issue of State law” or when in “exceptional circumstances, there are other compelling reasons for declining jurisdiction”). The claim will be dismissed without prejudice.

Stays of federal claims and related state claims

Section 1367(c) permits a district court to decline supplemental jurisdiction when a state claim raises a novel or complex issue of state law or substantially predominates over claims within its original jurisdiction; the court should consider whether to stay, hear, or dismiss such claims.

Pejepscot Industrial Park, Inc. v. Maine Central Railroad · filed 2000-06-23(c)(1), (c)(2)

The supplemental jurisdiction statute states that a district court may refuse to exercise supplemental jurisdiction if the state claim "substantially predominates over the claim or claims over which the district court has original jurisdiction" or "the claim raises a novel or complex issue of state law." 28 U.S.C. §§ 1367(c)(1), (c)(2). The district court should consider on remand whether to stay, act on, or dismiss Grimmel's state law claims.

Section 1367(c) requires a district court considering related state law claims to decide whether to decline supplemental jurisdiction before considering a stay pending related state proceedings.

Rosen v. County of Suffolk · filed 2002-12-16(c)

We vacate the portion of the district court’s judgment that dismisses Rosen’s state law damages claims and remand so that the district court may: 1) decide whether to exercise supplemental jurisdiction because Rosen’s state law damages claims “form part of the same case or controversy” as Rosen’s claims against the remaining defendants, see Ciambriello v. County of Nassau, 292 F.3d 307, 325 (2d Cir.2002); 2) decide whether the exercise of supplemental jurisdiction should be declined under 28 U.S.C. § 1367(c); and 3) if it chooses to exercise supplemental jurisdiction, determine whether it would be appropriate to issue a stay of the federal action pending the outcome of the related state proceedings.

Section 1367(c)(3) permits a district court to decline supplemental jurisdiction after dismissing the claims within its original jurisdiction; an unjustified stay of those claims does not justify dismissing related state claims.

Cingular Wireless, LLC v. Thurston County · filed 2005-09-26(c)(3)

Although the district court did not dismiss the federal claims over which it had original jurisdiction, its decision to stay these claims pending resolution of the LUPA claims in state court most likely explains its decision to decline the exercise of supplemental jurisdiction over the state claims. We conclude, however, that because the district court abused its discretion in abstaining, its stay of the federal claims does not justify its decision to dismiss the state claims.

Section 1367(c)(3) permits a district court to dismiss supplemental state law claims early in litigation when the federal claims have been dismissed or stayed and none will proceed.

Rossi v. Gemma · filed 2007-05-31(c)(3)

But the distinction makes no difference for the slander of title claims; we do not believe that Congress meant to preclude the exercise of the district court's discretion to dismiss state claims, this early in the litigation, once the court will not go forward on any federal claims.

Section 1367 permits supplemental jurisdiction over state-law claims involving the same facts as federal claims and permits declining jurisdiction over state-law medical-negligence claims when the related federal claims are dismissed before trial.

Parmeley v. Williamson County Jail · filed 2019-12-02(a), (c)(3)

This Court has supplemental jurisdiction over the claims because they involve the same facts as the federal claims. See 28 U.S.C. § 1367(a). ... To the extent Plaintiff intended to allege state law medical negligence claims based on the facts alleged in Counts 21 and 22, which are being dismissed, the Court will not exercise supplemental jurisdiction over the state law claims. The supplemental jurisdiction statute, 28 U.S.C. § 1367(a), extends the jurisdiction of federal district courts to all claims that are sufficiently related to the claim or claims on which their original jurisdiction is based to be part of the same case or controversy within the meaning of Article III of the Constitution. This same statute provides that the district court may decline to exercise supplemental jurisdiction if “the district court has dismissed all claims over which it has original jurisdiction.” 28 U.S.C. § 1367(c)(3).

Section 1367 allows a court to entertain state common law claims at initial review when sufficiently pleaded federal claims survive.

Adkins v. Mahoney and Ballard, D.M.D., Inc. · filed 2021-01-06

As discussed above, Plaintiff has sufficiently pled federal claims pursuant to Title VII and 42 U.S.C. § 1981 to survive initial review. As such, plaintiff’s state common law claims of negligence and negligence per se may, at this stage of litigation, be entertained under the federal supplemental jurisdiction statute, 28 U.S.C. § 1367.

Section 1367(a) permits supplemental jurisdiction over related state law claims against defendants whose federal claims were dismissed when federal claims against other defendants remain pending.

Louviere v. St. Tammany Parish Government · filed 2021-04-22(a)

Although the Court has determined that Plaintiffs’ federal claims against Defendants must be dismissed under Fed. R. Civ. P. 12(b)(6), Plaintiffs have asserted federal claims against other defendants in this case, including Sheriff Smith, Warden Kelly, and the St. Tammany Parish Government, all of which remain pending before the Court at this time. As such, and because the state law claims against Defendants “are so related to claims in the action within [the Court’s] original jurisdiction that they form part of the same case or controversy under Article III,”122 the Court will exercise its supplemental jurisdiction over Plaintiffs’ state law claims against Defendants.

Section 1367(a) does not support supplemental jurisdiction over state claims that merely share a broad factual background with federal claims when the claims require different proof.

Wilber v. Manlove · filed 2021-04-28(a)

Supplemental jurisdiction is not appropriate merely because the claims are “tangentially related” or share a broad factual background. ... Again, the evidence necessary for Wilber to succeed on a medical negligence claim will not overlap with the evidence necessary for him to succeed on his federal claims. Therefore, Wilber’s state law claims will be dismissed without prejudice.

Section 1367(a) does not confer supplemental jurisdiction over state claims whose only connection to the federal claims is a tenuous factual overlap.

Villarreal v. Saenz · filed 2021-05-18(a)

The only facts the claims have in common involve Saenz’s attempt to use the Release to bar Plaintiffs from raising claims against him in this litigation. Such a tenuous connection is insufficient to confer jurisdiction under these circumstances.

But Plaintiffs property claim does not share any common issue of fact or law with the federal claims that are proceeding in this Court. Thus, it is not “so related to claims in the action within [the Court’s] original jurisdiction that they form part of the same case or controversy.” 28 U.S.C. § 1367.

Section 1367 requires state law claims to share a common nucleus of operative fact with a federal claim for supplemental jurisdiction.

Jackson v. Wilcox · filed 2023-06-28(a)

Here, too, the state law claims for FOIL denials and the federal claim for habeas relief are not connected by a "common nucleus of operative fact."

Section 1367(a) permits supplemental jurisdiction over state-law claims that are sufficiently related to federal claims arising from the same alleged failure to reimburse for medical services.

Murphy Med. Assocs., LLC v. Yale Univ. · filed 2024-11-04(a)

Although the district court did not justify its exercise of supplemental jurisdiction over Murphy’s pendent state-law claims after dismissing its federal claims, “the parties do not dispute that all of the [state] claims asserted . . . involve the [defendant]’s alleged failure to reimburse [the plaintiff] for medical services provided to Plan beneficiaries” and therefore “are so related to [the federal] claims” under 28 U.S.C. § 1367(a) that the court’s exercise of supplemental jurisdiction was appropriate.

Unruh Act damages versus ADA relief

Section 1367(c)(2) permits a district court to decline supplemental jurisdiction when a state-law claim substantially predominates because of the disparity in remedies available for the state and federal claims.

Dalfio v. SECVD & I, Inc. · filed 2021-09-15(c)(2)

Accordingly, the Court finds that Plaintiff’s Unruh Act claim substantially predominates over his ADA claim due to the disparity in available remedies available, and thus falls within the exception of § 1367(c)(2).

Under § 1367(c)(2), an Unruh Act claim does not substantially predominate over an ADA claim merely because it offers monetary damages while the ADA offers only injunctive relief.

Courts in the Ninth Circuit have rejected the argument that a claim under the Unruh Act predominates over a claim under the ADA simply because of the difference in available remedies. ...

Section 1367(c) permits a court to decline supplemental jurisdiction over an Unruh Act claim when its potential damages substantially predominate over related ADA injunctive relief and comity and forum shopping provide compelling reasons to decline jurisdiction.

For the foregoing reasons, the Court finds that (1) Plaintiffs state law claim under the Unruh Act substantially predominates over his federal claim under the ADA, and (2) there are otherwise exceptional circumstances — including comity and this Court’s interest in discouraging forum-shopping — for declining supplemental jurisdiction over the Unruh Act claim.

Retaining state claims after substantial litigation

Section 1367(c)(3) permits a district court to retain supplemental jurisdiction over related state-law claims after dismissing the only federal claim, with completed discovery and the absence of novel or complex state-law issues favoring retention.

McGoldrick v. Datatrak International, Inc. · filed 1999-02-26(c)(3)

Where, as here, all of the claims which fall within our original jurisdiction have been dismissed, the Court may decline to exercise supplemental jurisdiction over pendent state law claims. Title 28 U.S.C. § 1367(c). ... In our view, the completion of discovery, as well as the dearth of novel or complex issues of State law, militate in favor of exercising our discretion to retain jurisdiction over this case.

Section 1367(c)(3) permits a district court to retain related state-law claims after dismissing the federal claims when substantial resources have already been spent on the case.

Grace v. Rosenstock · filed 1998-10-29(c)(3)

Pursuant to 28 U.S.C. § 1367(c)(3), a district court may decline to exercise supplemental jurisdiction over a state law claim under subsection (a) if “the district court has dismissed all claims over which it has original jurisdiction.” ... This case was filed over thirteen years ago, the trial has taken place, and both the parties and the court have devoted substantial resources in this action. Indeed, the original judge and at least three parties to this case have passed away since its inception, and further delays would be unwarranted. Accordingly, although the court is hard-pressed to understand why defendant Genser opted to defend this ease at trial rather than attempt to resolve it by dispositive motion, in the interests of judicial economy the court will extend supplemental jurisdiction and address plaintiffs’ state law claims.

Brazinski v. Amoco Petroleum Additives Company and Buck Isbell · filed 1993-09-09(c)(3)

The new statute surely did not change this practice merely by providing that the district judge “may” relinquish supplemental jurisdiction if the main claim is dismissed, 28 U.S.C. § 1367(c)(3), without expressly qualifying this permission by excluding from its scope cases in which that claim is dismissed after the case had been tried.

The court recognizes that, because only state law claims remain, the court has discretion to dismiss the case under 28 U.S.C. § 1367(c)(3). ...

Alex D. McMillen, Plaintiff v. Concord Hospital, Defendant · filed 2014-09-22(c)(3)
