Counterclaims
Section 1367(a) permits supplemental jurisdiction over a permissive counterclaim when it forms part of the same case or controversy as a claim within the court’s original jurisdiction.
Farmers Union Service Association of South Dakota v. Murphy · filed 2025-11-17(a)

R. Civ. P. 13(a)(1).Read the full opinion on CourtListener →

Section 1367 grants the district court the discretion to exercise supplemental jurisdiction over related state claims that have been joined “in the action within such original jurisdiction.” Thus, when the related state claim is severed from the federal claim, the once-upon-a-time related claim is no longer a related claim because there is no federal claim to which it can relate; nor does the claim any longer supplement the federal claim, and supplemental jurisdiction was the only support for its brief federal life.Read the full opinion on CourtListener →

The court had jurisdiction over the state law claim solely by virtue of supplemental jurisdiction, under which 28 U.S.C. § 1367(c) provided a mechanism for remand. See id. * 7.

Amount in controversy in diversity class actions
Law changed since The U.S. Supreme Court in Exxon Mobil Corp. v. Allapattah Services held § 1367 permits related claims below the diversity amount when at least one named plaintiff satisfies it and other jurisdictional requirements are met. (2005-06-23)
Section 1367(b) does not eliminate the requirement that each member of a diversity class satisfy the jurisdictional amount.

Section 1367 permits supplemental jurisdiction over related claims by additional diverse plaintiffs who do not individually meet the amount in controversy requirement when subsection (b) does not exclude those claims.
Garza v. National American Insurance · filed 1992-12-11
However, this court finds that the Congress said what it meant and that the Congress meant what it said — the language of § 1367 unavoidably overrules these pre-§ 1367 cases in those instances where the requirements of § 1367(a) are fulfilled and the exceptions of § 1367(b) are inapplicable.Read the full opinion on CourtListener →

Section 1367 does not eliminate the requirement that every member of a diversity class action meet the amount in controversy threshold.
Hairston v. Home Loan & Investment Bank · filed 1993-02-18
Defendants contend that under 28 U.S.C. § 1367, they need only establish jurisdictional amount with respect to the named plaintiffs, as opposed to with respect to each member of the class. This assertion is contrary to Griffin v. Dana Point Condominium Ass'n, 768 F.Supp. 1299, 1302 (N.D.Ill.1991), which held that section 1367 does not overrule the Zahn requirement that each member of the class in a diversity action assert a claim that meets the jurisdictional amount.Read the full opinion on CourtListener →

Chouest v. American Airlines, Inc. · filed 1993-11-30(a)
I have previously interpreted § 1367 to provide for supplemental jurisdiction over one plaintiffs non-federal claims against nondiverse defendants, but not over another plaintiff. ... 1 stand by my interpretation of 28 U.S.C. § 1367 and conclude that the doctrine of pendant party jurisdiction does not apply to Mrs. Chouest’s claim.Read the full opinion on CourtListener →

Section 1367(a) does not permit supplemental jurisdiction over a related claim in a diversity action when doing so would conflict with § 1332’s amount-in-controversy and aggregation requirements.
North American Mechanical Services Corp. v. Hubert · filed 1994-08-03(a)
Section 1367(a) expressly provides that district courts do not have supplemental jurisdiction over state claims when another federal statute expressly provides otherwise. Section 1332 provides otherwise, and § 1367 does not overrule § 1332’s aggregation rules. Therefore, even though Count 1 and Count 2 appear to be part of the same case or controversy, the Court cannot exercise supplemental jurisdiction over Count 2 because § 1332 provides otherwise.Read the full opinion on CourtListener →

Section 1367 does not displace the requirement that each class member independently satisfy the amount-in-controversy threshold in a diversity class action in the Third Circuit.
Garcia v. General Motors Corporation · filed 1995-12-13(a)
GMC argues that Section 1367 overrules Zahn, thereby precluding an inquiry into whether the Putative Plaintiffs each satisfy the amount-in-controversy requirement. ... Faced with this issue, however, the Third Circuit decided not to disturb the Zahn holding. ... To date, Zahn and Packard remain good law in the Third Circuit. Accordingly, GMC must establish that each of the Putative Plaintiffs meets the amount-in-controversy requirement.Read the full opinion on CourtListener →

Section 1367 does not provide supplemental jurisdiction over separate and distinct claims in a diversity class action unless each class member meets the amount-in-controversy requirement.
Snider v. Stimson Lumber Co. · filed 1996-01-22(a), (b)
Read in this light, the text of § 1367 does not clearly and unambiguously create supplemental jurisdiction over separate and distinct claims in a class action based in diversity. ... Accordingly, this court, joining the vast majority of district courts around the country, concludes that where plaintiffs base jurisdiction of a class action upon diversity and allege separate and distinct claims, they must allege that each class member has a $50,000 claim to maintain the case.Read the full opinion on CourtListener →
Section 1367 does not require a removed putative class action to be treated as individual claims when calculating the diversity amount in controversy; attorney fees remain prorated across the class.
Karofsky v. Abbott Laboratories · filed 1996-03-15

In Re High Fructose Corn Syrup Antitrust Litigation · filed 1996-08-22(a)
Judge Shadur held that the named plaintiffs must have the requisite dollar amount at issue before § 1367 would affect the court’s jurisdiction over the “pendant claims” of the other class members. ... This Court agrees with the logic employed by Judge Shadur.. Therefore, the question of whether this action satisfies the amount in controversy requirement of § 1332 must be answered by examining Freda’s claims.Read the full opinion on CourtListener →
