And the Ninth Circuit has found “exceptional circumstances” within the meaning of 28 U.S.C. § 1367(c)(4) when a plaintiff would be allowed to circumvent and render ineffectual California’s “procedural requirements aimed at limiting suits by high-frequency litigants” by filing an Unruh Act claim in federal court and invoking the court’s supplemental jurisdiction.

Section 1367(c)(4) does not make joint federal and state consumer protection enforcement an exceptional circumstance warranting refusal of supplemental jurisdiction merely because the federal agency cannot seek monetary relief.
Federal Trade Commission v. Roomster Corp. · filed 2023-02-01(c)(4)
Defendants suggest that, even if the FTC claims survive, I should decline to exercise supplemental jurisdiction over the state claims for exceptional circumstances, 28 U.S.C. § 1367(c)(4); specifically, because the FTC should not be able to “bootstrap” Supreme Court precedent forbidding the FTC from seeking monetary relief. (Mot. to Dismiss at 20 n.3). This makes no sense because, as previously discussed, the FTC says it is not seeking monetary relief. And there is nothing improper about bringing an enforcement action with states whose own consumer protection statutes has been violated by allegedly unlawful conduct. There is nothing exceptional about these circumstances. This sort of thing happens all the time.Read the full opinion on CourtListener →

Since commencement of this action, Congress has passed the Judicial Improvements Act of 1990, Pub. L. 101-650.

In that respect, what was formerly the problematic concept of “pendent party jurisdiction” has now been supplanted by the “supplemental jurisdiction” enactment of 28 U.S.C. § 1367, under which this Court is granted such jurisdiction “over all other claims that are so related to claims in the action within such original jurisdiction that they form part of the same case or controversy under Article III of the United States Constitution.” That is certainly an apt description of both Counts III and IV, thus confirming the appropriateness of retaining those claims.Read the full opinion on CourtListener →

As to permissive intervention, ... 28 U.S.C. § 1367(a) does not grant federal district courts supplemental jurisdiction over permissive intervenors’ claims because such claims do not “form part of the same case or controversy under Article III of the United States Constitution” ... with the main action which provides the basis for the Court’s original jurisdiction.Read the full opinion on CourtListener →

The terms of 28 U.S.C. § 1367(b) prohibit the court from exercising jurisdiction over Plaintiff’s third-party claim.

Moreover, if Nike had filed this suit as the sole plaintiff, it could not have relied on the district court's supplemental jurisdiction to add NIL and NIL's claims.

Therefore, this state tort action may be maintained under the supplemental jurisdiction powers of this court.

Although MeSween’s alleged conduct did not give the plaintiff a federal claim against him individually, it gave rise to a federal claim against his employer which is now before the court.

Section 1367(a) permits supplemental jurisdiction over a new cause of action and a new party added to a case removed to federal court.
Johnson v. State · filed 1995-08-11(a)
Moreover, while case law precluded the use of supplemental jurisdiction as a basis to add parties to an action (see, Finley v United States, 490 US 545), such case law was expressly overruled by Congress in subdivision (a) of 28 USC § 1367. It is thus apparently permissible to amend a complaint removed to Federal court to add both a new cause of action and a new party, even when the jurisdiction over the new party is based on supplemental jurisdiction.Read the full opinion on CourtListener →

We believe that the third party complaint satisfies the prerequisites 28 U.S.C. §§ 1331, and 1337 confer subject matter jurisdiction over MCI's cl action and Teleconcepts' third-party action both arise out of the fraudulent activity which purportedly resulted in exorbitant long distance charges.

Ordinarily, supplemental jurisdiction would suffice to keep Hudgens in federal court, if his claim was so related to Choroszy’s “that they form part of the same case or controversy.” 28 U.S.C. § 1367(a). ...

Inasmuch as this court has clear jurisdiction under the IDEA to review the administrative order entered against the School District, 20 U.S.C. § 1415(e)(2), it need only determine whether the School District’s state claim against the DMHDD is so closely related to its federal claim that it may be said to derive from a common nucleus of operative fact and to constitute part of the same case or controversy under Article III. ...

In this case, however, federal law claims remain against the three other defendants.

Harter v. Vernon · filed 2000-07-18(d)
Thus because, in the case before us, the federal court gained supplemental jurisdiction over plaintiffs’ state law claims not due to diversity, 28 U.S.C.A. § 1367(d) applies and the limitations period for plaintiffs’ supplemental claims was tolled for 30 days after the action was dismissed because “a voluntary dismissal under the Federal Rules in a nondiversity case in federal court does not toll the statute of limitations or invoke a savings provision.”Read the full opinion on CourtListener →

Hanson v. State of Maine · filed 2001-10-23(d)
As the commentator notes, the tolling provision in the federal statute could be subject to different interpretations due to its wording. This factor, plus the clear intent of the plaintiff to refile in state court at the time the federal complaint was dismissed, leads this court to conclude that a technical interpretation of the statute results in an injustice. Granting the State’s motion to dismiss would be a harsh result for a possible misreading of antbiguous federal statutory language. Denying the motion as to the state claims avoids this harsh result without serious damage to either state or federal law.Read the full opinion on CourtListener →

Meng v. Schwartz · filed 2004-02-06(d)
Contrary to the defendant’s contention, the plaintiffs’ action is not time-barred because actions dismissed pursuant to the federal supplemental jurisdiction statute, 28 U.S.C. § 1367(d), will not be barred by a statute of limitations because of time lost in federal court.
