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(a) does not displace Zahn’s requirement that each member of a diversity class action satisfy the amount in controversy requirement.

Tortola Restaurants, L.P. v. Kimberly-Clark Corp. · filed 1997-08-29(a)

Section 1367(a) does not authorize supplemental jurisdiction over claims against a nondiverse defendant in a removed diversity class action merely because most claims are diverse.

Taylor v. American Tobacco Co., Inc. · filed 1997-11-03(a)

Defendants’ final argument urges this court to exercise supplemental jurisdiction pursuant to 28 U.S.C. § 1367(a) over the state law claims between non-diverse defendants in this case. ... This court is unwilling to accept defendants’ argument in this case. ... This court likewise finds it unwise to bend over backwards to find subject matter jurisdiction in this way. As a result, this court will remand this case, in its entirety, to Wayne County Circuit Court.

Daniels v. Philip Morris Companies, Inc. · filed 1998-08-07(a)

The Court agrees with plaintiffs’ argument and joins the chorus of courts which have reaffirmed the vitality of Zahn. Although the Fifth and Seventh Circuits have determined that § 1367 effectively overrules Zahn, this Court is not so persuaded. First, the Court finds that the statute is not clear and unambiguous on its face and, therefore, a review of the legislative history is appropriate. Moreover, this history supports a construction of § 1367 which is consistent with the survival of Zahn.

Section 1367 does not let a diversity class action include plaintiffs whose individual claims fail to meet the amount-in-controversy requirement of § 1332.

Leonhardt v. Western Sugar Co. · filed 1998-11-13(a), (b)

We therefore conclude, from both an analysis of the language of § 1367 itself and from its legislative history, that the enactment of § 1367 did not overrule Zahn ’s holding that each plaintiff in a diversity-based class action must meet the jurisdictional amount in controversy under § 1332.

Sayre v. Potts · filed 1999-01-08(a)-(b)

The plain language of this statute clearly permits the Court to exercise supplemental jurisdiction over Mr. Sayre’s claim. His cause of action arises out of the same automobile accident that injured his wife; thus, it is part of the same case or controversy as his wife’s claim. Furthermore, although the Court’s original jurisdiction, in this case is grounded solely in Section 1332, the plaintiffs originally brought their claims together, not pursuant to Rules 14,19, 20, or 24 of the Federal Rules of Civil Procedure.

In light of this court’s finding that Zahn survives section 1367’s enactment, the court grants the Freemans and Ms. Kershaw’s motion to remand, since the records in both Freeman and Kershaw demonstrate that the large majority of potential plaintiffs in both cases will fail to satisfy the amount-in-controversy requirement.

Thus, we find that § 1367 clearly and unambiguously provides district courts with the authority in diversity class actions to exercise supplemental jurisdiction over the claims of class members who do not meet the minimum amount in controversy as long as the district court has original jurisdiction over the claims of at least one of the class representatives.

Howard v. Globe Life Insurance · filed 1996-12-27(a)

The conclusion that Zahn has been overruled is based, in large part, on the fact that Section 1367(a) unambiguously grants federal courts supplemental jurisdiction over all claims that are part of the same case or controversy as the claims over which the court has original jurisdiction.

State mandamus claims

Section 1367(c)(1) and (4) permit a federal court to decline supplemental jurisdiction over a state mandamus claim involving a state administrative agency because federalism and comity favor state court resolution.

Subsections (1) and (4) of section 1367, cited above, both provide reasons to decline supplemental jurisdiction over Mr. Ciernes’ state mandamus claim. Mandamus proceedings to compel a state administrative agency to act are actions that are uniquely in the interest and domain of state courts. It would be entirely inappropriate for a federal court, through exercise of its supplemental jurisdiction, to impose itself upon such proceedings.

Supplemental jurisdiction extends over state claims brought against a party even when that party was not subject to the federal claim primarily at issue.

Section 1367(c)(3) permits a court to defer deciding whether to decline supplemental jurisdiction while a claim within its original jurisdiction remains pending and to decide the issue if that claim is later dismissed.

Bill & Ted's Riviera, Inc. v. Cuomo · filed 2020-10-13(c)(3)

With regard to Plaintiffs' Article 78 claim, there is no need for the Court to consider whether to exercise its supplemental jurisdiction over that claim at this time. If, at some point during this litigation, the Court dismisses Plaintiffs' equal protection claim, then, at that time, the Court can decide, in its discretion, whether to "decline to exercise [its] supplemental jurisdiction over" their Article 78 claim because the court "has dismissed all claims over which it has original jurisdiction[.]" 28 U.S.C. § 1367(c)(3). Therefore, the Court denies Defendants' motion to dismiss Plaintiffs' Article 78 claim.

A district court may postpone deciding whether to exercise supplemental jurisdiction over state-law claims while it remains unclear whether the plaintiff can state a federal claim.

Bell v. City of New York · filed 2021-01-07(c)(3)

Howard v. 3,6 Mafia · filed 2021-07-23(c)(3)

The Court declines, however, to consider Plaintiff’s breach of contract claim at this time. Under 28 U.S.C. § 1367(c)(3), a district court may decline to exercise supplemental jurisdiction over state-law claims when it “has dismissed all claims over which it has original jurisdiction.” Because it is not clear that Plaintiff can state a valid federal claim, the Court will determine at a later time whether to exercise supplemental jurisdiction over any state-law claims Plaintiff seeks to raise in the complaint.

Section 1367(c) calls for the court to decide whether to exercise supplemental jurisdiction after finding that it has the power to hear a related state-law claim; absent a reason under its factors to decline, the court may exercise that jurisdiction.

Baker v. City of McKinney, Texas · filed 2021-11-18(c)

The Court’s inquiry does not end upon finding power to exercise supplemental jurisdiction. The Court must also decide whether it should exercise such jurisdiction under § 1367(c). ... Under these factors, the parties do not offer, and the Court does not find, any reason to decline to exercise jurisdiction over Baker’s state law claim.

Section 1367(c) permits a court to retain supplemental jurisdiction when a state claim rests on the same alleged violation as a federal claim and involves nearly identical facts, witnesses, and evidence; a website accessibility claim does not warrant declining jurisdiction merely to enforce state procedures limited to construction-related claims.

Jimenez v. R Inn Napa Inc. · filed 2023-09-20(c)

There is no compelling reason to decline supplemental jurisdiction over the Unruh Act claim. See 28 U.S.C. § 1367(c). The state claim does not predominate over the federal one, because both rest on the same alleged violation and involve “nearly identical facts, witnesses, and evidence.”

Remand of claims within original jurisdiction

Section 1367(c) allows a court to decline supplemental jurisdiction over claims, but does not authorize remand of claims within its original jurisdiction.

Stephens v. LJ PARTNERS · filed 1994-05-17(c)

Section 1367(c) does not authorize a district court to decline or remand a claim within its original jurisdiction.

NYLife Distributors, Inc. v. Adherence Group, Inc. · filed 1995-12-21(c)(3)

It necessarily follows and we further conclude that the district court erred when it also dismissed Gerasolo's cross-claims under 28 U.S.C. § 1367(c)(3) (1993) on October 26, 1994, believing that all claims over which it had original jurisdiction had been eliminated from the case.

Section 1367(c)(3) does not permit dismissal of supplemental claims on the ground that all original-jurisdiction claims have been dismissed when an unresolved stage of an interpleader action remains within the court’s original jurisdiction.

Nylife Distributors, Inc. v. The Adherence Group, Inc. · filed 1996-02-02(c)(3)

We thus hold that the district court's conclusion that all federal claims had been dismissed by virtue of its May 19, 1994 order was in error, and that its October 26, 1994 decision to terminate the case in favor of TAG's pending state court action on this basis was as well erroneous. It necessarily follows and we further conclude that the district court erred when it also dismissed Gerasolo's cross-claims under 28 U.S.C.

Section 1367(a) does not sustain supplemental jurisdiction over a third-party state-law claim after dismissal of the complaint supplying original jurisdiction; jurisdiction must then rest on diversity.

Fell v. Continental Airlines, Inc. · filed 1998-01-20(a)

The question of jurisdiction over CAL’s third-party complaint remains, however. Here, jurisdiction was asserted as supplemental pursuant to 28 U.S.C. § 1367(a). Having dismissed Fell’s complaint and having determined that the third-party complaint presents a simple breach of contract claim under Colorado law, jurisdiction, if it exists, must rest on diversity pursuant to 28 U.S.C. § 1332(a)(1).

Section 1367(c)(3) does not give a district court discretion to decline jurisdiction over state law claims that independently fall within its original diversity jurisdiction.

Shonk v. Fountain Power Boats · filed 2009-07-16(c)(3)

The district court possessed original jurisdiction over all claims in this case pursuant to diversity jurisdiction. See 28 U.S.C. § 1332. Accordingly, when the district court declared that it “obtained supplemental jurisdiction over Shonk’s state law claims based upon his MMWA claim,” (J.A. 621 n.7), the district court was mistaken. Concomitantly, the district court was mistaken in believing that it possessed discretion under 28 U.S.C. § 1367(c)(3) to dismiss Shonk’s claims under the Maryland UCC and the Maryland CPA against Fountain.

Section 1367(c) does not authorize remand when the court has original diversity jurisdiction over the state law claims.

Schumacher v. Sunrise Senior Living · filed 2021-01-11(c)

However, Section 1367(c) does not provide a basis for remand. It is true that “district courts may decline to exercise supplemental jurisdiction over a claim . . . if . . . the district court has dismissed all claims over which it has original jurisdiction.” See Section 1367(c)(3). However, Plaintiff’s “argument misses one key point: the [Notice of Removal] expressly alleges . . . diversity jurisdiction” and thus, the Court has “original jurisdiction over the [state law claims] if diversity jurisdiction exists.” Hooper v.
