Discretion to retain or remand state-law claims

Section 1367(c)(3) permits a court to retain supplemental jurisdiction over state-law claims after weighing judicial economy, convenience, fairness, and comity.

Patterson · filed 2026-01-09(c)(3)

Given the lengthy history of this case, including the pattern of multiplying litigation by the parties in both State and federal court, the Court finds that the interests of judicial economy—namely finally resolving all claims between the parties in a single forum—predominate. Therefore, the Court exercises its discretion to retain jurisdiction over Mrs. Patterson’s State-law claims.

Section 1367(c)(3) permits a court to retain related state law claims after dismissing all claims within its original jurisdiction.

SYT Solutions, LLC v. Burger · filed 2021-01-12(c)(3)

The Court may retain jurisdiction over related state law claims after dismissing all claims over which the Court had original jurisdiction under 28 U.S.C. § 1367(c)(3). However, because the Court will not dismiss all federal claims in this matter and because the Court has broad discretion in determining whether to exercise supplemental jurisdiction, the Court finds Defendants’ 12(b)(1) challenges unavailing.

Section 1367(d)’s tolling of state limitations periods does not eliminate a district court’s discretion to remand remaining state claims.

HARRISON v. THE CITY OF LANCASTER · filed 2021-06-16(d)

The tolling provision in 28 U.S.C. § 1367(d) seemingly addressed this concern. However, the Supreme Court’s reasoning did not stop there. The Court went on to explain that even when the underlying statute of limitations has not expired, remand may still be warranted to “best promote the values of economy, convenience, fairness, and comity.” Id. at 620.

Section 1367(c)(1) permits a district court to remand a claim within its supplemental jurisdiction when the claim raises a novel or complex issue of state law.

Pas v. Travelers Insurance · filed 1993-10-14(c)(1)

Accordingly, the district court had supplemental, rather than original, jurisdiction over the state claim. Thus, the district court had discretion to remand the claim to state court.

Time to file a notice of appeal

Section 1367 does not extend the time to file a notice of appeal when an appellant files a notice of removal after dismissal.

Riley v. Daron Hall, Sheriff · filed 2011-03-02

We do not construe 28 U.S.C. § 1367 as allowing an appellant to extend the time for filing a notice of appeal by filing a notice of removal after a case has been dismissed.

Separate incidents without shared proof

Section 1367(a) allows supplemental jurisdiction over state claims only when they share a common nucleus of operative fact with a claim under the court’s original jurisdiction; separate incidents with insufficient evidentiary overlap do not qualify.

Francis v. City of Schenectady · filed 2021-03-24(a)

Because there is insufficient evidentiary overlap between these claims, no common nucleus of operative facts exists such that the state claim forms part of the same case of controversy with Plaintiff’s federal claims relating to his arrest and prosecution.

State claims requiring distinct proof

Section 1367(c)(2) permits a district court to decline supplemental jurisdiction when state law claims substantially predominate over the federal claim, including when they require distinct proof and substantially expand the action.

James v. Sun Glass Hut of California, Inc. · filed 1992-09-16(c)(2)

Plaintiff’s contract and fraud claims require elements of proof that are distinct and foreign to her ADEA claim. These claims would substantially expand the scope of this case. Moreover, all the state law claims involve damages not available under ADEA, again causing a substantial expansion of this action beyond that necessary and relevant to the federal claim. Therefore, I conclude that the state law claims substantially predominate over the federal claim and I decline to exercise my supplemental jurisdiction, if any.

Section 1367(c)(2) permits a court to decline supplemental jurisdiction when facts peculiar to state law claims substantially predominate over issues common to claims within its original jurisdiction.

Krause v. Forex Exchange Market, Inc. · filed 2005-02-10(c)(2)

Even assuming arguendo that the remaining state law claims against FXCM arise from the same case or controversy as the claims against the Alleged Primary Violators, the facts peculiar to FXCM — which include the details of its direct relationship with each plaintiff — substantially predominate over common issues. The Court therefore declines to exercise supplemental jurisdiction over these claims.

Number and complexity of state claims

Section 1367(c)(2) permits a court to decline supplemental jurisdiction when state law claims substantially predominate in number, variety, and complexity over the federal claims.

Cobb v. Roshto · filed 2002-03-27(c)(2)

Under the federal statute, 28 U.S.C. § 1367(c)(2), the court may decline to exercise supplemental jurisdiction over state law claims if they “substantially predominate” over the federal claims. Bass v. Parkwood Hospital, 180 F.3d 234 (5th Cir. 1999). Taking into account our reversal of the summary judgment for Roshto, the dozen or more state law claims nevertheless continue to “substantially predominate” in number, variety, and complexity. The district court did not abuse his discretion.

Section 1367(c)(2) does not treat state-law claims as substantially predominant merely because they outnumber federal claims.

Detroit Edison Co. v. Michigan Department of Environmental Quality · filed 1998-12-15(c)(2)

While the state law claims have the edge in numbers, this simple fact does not necessarily mean that the state law claims “substantially predominate.”

Under § 1367(c)(2), state claims do not substantially predominate merely because they outnumber federal claims, particularly where they share a factual basis and seek the same relief.

Federman v. Town of Lorraine · filed 2019-11-25(c)(2)

Importantly, whether a claim substantially “predominates” involves more than “a numerical count of the state and federal claims” asserted. In re Methyl Tertiary Butyl Ether (MTBE) Prods. Liab. Litig., 613 F. Supp. 2d 437, 443 (S.D.N.Y. 2009) (quoting Borough of W. Mifflin v. Lancaster, 45 F.3d 780, 789 (3d Cir. 1995)); see also Gibbs, 383 U.S. at 726–27 (explaining that state-law claims can substantially predominate “in terms of proof, of the scope of the issues raised, or of the comprehensiveness of the remedy sought”). ... The underlying factual basis of Plaintiff’s federal claim—the Town’s treatment of his property, as opposed to his neighbors’ property—is a common issue running through almost all the state claims and further, all the claims seek the same relief. Thus, because many of Plaintiff’s claims are of the same type, declining supplemental jurisdiction “would undermine the efficiency rationale of supplemental jurisdiction” to adjudicate these claims in two separate forums. Shahriar, 659 F.3d at 246; see also Blackrock, 180 F. Supp. 3d at 257.

State damages claims outweighing federal equitable relief

Section 1367(c)(2) permits a court to decline supplemental jurisdiction when the monetary remedies available on state claims substantially predominate over the injunctive relief available on the federal claim.

Organization for the Advancement of Minorities With Disabilities Suing on Behalf of Its Members v. Brick Oven Restaurant · filed 2005-09-15(c)(2)

Narrow federal anchors and predominant state claims

Section 1367(c)(2) permits a court to weigh the apparent weakness of the federal claim when deciding whether a state claim substantially predominates.

Diven v. Amalgamated Transit Union International and Local 689, Amalgamated Transit Union · filed 1994-11-01(c)(2)

Of course neither the district court nor we, at this stage and on this record, can definitively pronounce on the validity of appellants’ federal claim against the ATU, but the apparent weakness of the claim — even before discovery — is, under these circumstances, a factor to be weighed in determining whether the state claim “substantially predominates.”

Section 1367(c)(2) permits a district court to decline supplemental jurisdiction when state-law claims substantially predominate over a narrow remaining federal claim.

Cannon v. District of Columbia · filed 2014-01-06(c)(2)

Second, under § 1367(c)(2), D.C. law claims “substantially predominate[] over the claim or claims over which the district court has original jurisdiction.” The only federal claim which still remains in the case is the determination of FLSA damages for plaintiffs Ford-Haynes, Neill, and Weeks. This is a narrow, largely mathematical question, which has little if anything to do with the nucleus of facts common to plaintiffs’ nine D.C. law claims. It would therefore be imprudent for the Court to exercise supplemental jurisdiction over these D.C. law claims.

Carbajal v. The Retreat at Bon Secour Owners Association, Inc. · filed 2019-07-11(c)(2)

Considering the plethora of state law claims asserted, including ones that seek to enjoin the same zoning ordinance as the federal claim, it appears that Carbajal Jr.’s sole federal claim for injunctive relief against Bauer (who is one of four defendants to this action), “is only an appendage” to the state claims that “constitute[] the real body of [this] case…”

A district court may decline to exercise supplemental jurisdiction over a state law claim if that claim “substantially predominates over the claim . . . over which the district court has original jurisdiction.” 28 U.S.C. § 1367(c)(2). ...

Shared facts prevent state claims from predominating

State law claims do not substantially predominate under § 1367(c)(2) when the same alleged conduct underlies related federal and state claims.

Shea v. UNION FREE SCHOOL DIST. OF MASSAPEQUA · filed 2010-02-05(c)(2)

However, the Court notes that the alleged actions of the defendants that underlie these state law tort claims are the same as the alleged actions that underlie the plaintiffs’ Section 1983 claim. Therefore, the Court cannot conclude that one category of claim predominates over the other.

Section 1367(c)(2) does not justify declining supplemental jurisdiction when the state and federal claims arise from the same conduct and require virtually the same trial evidence.

Picard v. Bay Area Regional Transit District · filed 1993-05-11(c)(2)

Plaintiffs’ state law claims do not substantially predominate over their federal claims. Plaintiffs’ substantive due process, procedural due process, and equal protection claims are based on the same conduct that forms the basis of their state law taking claim. While different legal theories are involved, each will require virtually the same eviden-tiary presentation at trial. ... The court does not feel that section 1367(c)(2) provides a basis for declining jurisdiction in this case.

Section 1367(c)(2) permits a district court to retain supplemental jurisdiction over state law claims when they do not substantially predominate over the federal claims, including where the claims rely on common evidence.

Donaldson v. American Banco Corp., Inc. · filed 1996-11-20(c)(2)

Section 1367(e) states that a district court may decline to exercise supplemental jurisdiction if the state law claims substantially predominate over the federal claims. Here, state law claims do not substantially predominate the federal claims. Although the elements for plaintiffs Title VII claims and their outrageous conduct claims are distinct, plaintiffs rely on common evidence in support of their claims. Therefore, continuing to exercise supplemental jurisdiction over the remaining outrageous conduct claims will not greatly complicate or expand this action.

Whitaker v. Tesla Motors, Inc. · filed 2020-05-15(c)(2)

As to Defendant’s first argument, the Court agrees with Defendant’s argument that state law issues predominate over ADA claim issues. If the Court exercises supplemental jurisdiction over the Unruh Act claim, (1) Defendant’s intent, (2) monetary damages, and (3) Plaintiff’s emotional distress would be extraneous issues that would have to be litigated and yet not relevant to the federal claim. As such, given these additional elements necessary for an Unruh Act claim, the Court will decline to exercise jurisdiction over the state law claim.

Baylay v. Etihad Airways P.J.S.C. · filed 2018-02-07(c)(2)

But even if Baylay is correct that the district court had orig- inal jurisdiction over those third-party contribution claims, district courts may decline to exercise supplemental jurisdic- tion over a claim when the supplemental claim “substantially predominates over the claim or claims over which the district court has original jurisdiction.” 28 U.S.C. § 1367(c). This is the case here. After Etihad’s dismissal, Baylay’s remaining claims included two state-law claims against Mann and a state-law claim of negligence against the Westin’s corporate entities. The corporate entities’ third-party contribution claims are en- tirely dependent on the resolution of the underlying state-law negligence claim against them. Thus, Baylay’s state-law claims substantially predominate. The district court’s decision to decline to exercise supplemental jurisdiction over them was not an abuse of discretion in light of 28 U.S.C. § 1367(c).

Now that RICO is no longer the linchpin of jurisdiction, these issues would normally become triable solely in state court (where an action has already been filed).

While the remaining claims in this case may raise some new issues of state law, they do not predominate over the federal questions plaintiffs have raised nor are there any exceptional circumstances which would dictate that the Court decline pendent jurisdiction. Furthermore, in keeping with the principles of United Mine Workers v. Gibbs, it would not be in the interest of justice to dismiss these claims.

Section 1367(c) permits supplemental jurisdiction over state-law claims against codefendants when the claims are familiar, do not predominate, the original-jurisdiction claim remains, and no compelling reason warrants declining jurisdiction.

Roe v. Little Co. of Mary Hospital · filed 1992-12-18(c)

The first three of these considerations find no application here. The complaint states familiar, state-law claims; none of those claims predominates over the claims against the Red Cross; and because this Court rejects any request to dismiss the Red Cross. Under the fourth “catch-all” category, the only compelling reason for declining jurisdiction might be that this Court has no jurisdiction over the Respondents in Discovery who are named as such pursuant to Ill.Rev.Stat. Ch. 110, para. 2-402. ... This Gourt derived similar jurisdiction over the respondents when this case was removed. Under these circumstances, this Court finds no reason for declining to exercise supplemental jurisdiction over all of the codefendants in the case.

Crocker v. Borden, Inc. · filed 1994-05-06(c)(2)

Upon due consideration of the policies of judicial economy, convenience, and fairness to the parties, as outlined herein, the Court finds that the main demand ought to be severed from OCF’s third-party claims against Westinghouse for exposures to asbestos contained in marine turbines constructed for the Navy and that the Court should decline supplemental jurisdiction over the main demands and the third-party claims unrelated to the Westinghouse marine turbines and remand them to state court.

28 U.S.C. § 1367 grants district courts discretion to decline to exercise supplemental jurisdiction when the state law claims predominate over any remaining federal claim. Because the court has determined to grant defendant’s summary judgment motion as to plaintiffs’ claims under the federal constitution, any remaining state law claim in this ease clearly “predominate[s] over the claim ... over which [this court] has original jurisdiction.” 28 U.S.C. § 1367(c)(2). Accordingly, this court dismisses without prejudice to further proceedings in state court any state law claim based on failure to train as well as any remaining state law claim.

In Re Stat-Tech Securities Litigation · filed 1995-11-06(c)(2)

While state law may predominate in terms of the comprehensiveness of remedies sought on the remaining state law claims, all of the Trust’s claims stem from the same alleged misconduct of defendants. The fact that three years have passed since this case was filed also militates against refusing to exercise jurisdiction over the state law claims now. I therefore accept jurisdiction over these claims and will consider them on their merits.

However, even if I were to find that plaintiffs’ state law causes of action and their FLSA claim arose out of a common nucleus of operative fact, I would still decline to exercise supplemental jurisdiction over those claims. The Supplemental Jurisdiction statute provides that a district court may, in its discretion, decline to assert jurisdiction over a state law claim when “the claim substantially predominates over the claim or claims over which the district court has original jurisdiction.” 29 U.S.C. § 1367(e)(2).

Plaintiffs will not be unduly prejudiced because their claims may be heard there and the statute of limitations has not yet expired.9 For these reasons, I decline to exercise supplemental jurisdiction over Plaintiffs’ WPCL claim pursuant to § 1367(c)(2).

Reynolds v. Szczesniak · filed 2020-11-16(c)(2)

If the Court were to allow the state-law wrongful death claim against Martin to go forward, it would likely substantially predominate over the federal-law claims. In order to resolve the claim against Martin, the Court would have to adjudicate the question of whether Martin killed Reynolds in the first instance. This would be a fact-intensive inquiry that would most likely go to a jury and would best be left to a state court. Additionally, adjudicating the claim against Martin as part of this case would likely raise problems, such as the substantial differences in the evidence and legal theories relevant to the federal and state claims, as well as the potential for complicated jury instructions and jury confusion. In light of these considerations, the Court declines to exercise jurisdiction over Reynolds’ state-law claim for wrongful death against Martin (Count V) and so Count V is REMANDED to state court.

Whitener v. The Rutherford County Detention Center · filed 2021-09-21(c)(2)

Assuming arguendo that the Plaintiff has plausibly alleged a medical negligence claim under North Carolina law, the Court declines to exercise supplemental jurisdiction over it at this time. The medical negligence claim against the Jane Doe nurse practitioner and Jane Doe physician is not adequately related to the § 1983 claims that have passed initial review against the John Doe sergeant and two John Doe correctional officers. Further, such claim would require extensive expert testimony of an entirely different nature than that needed to adjudicate constitutional issues. It is likely, in this case, that the medical malpractice claim would substantially predominate over the claims over which the Court has original jurisdiction.
