A district court has broad discretion to exercise jurisdiction over state law claims that are “so related to claims in the action within such original jurisdiction that they form part of the same case or controversy.” 28 U.S.C. § 1367(a).

The district court dismissed Payne’s state law claims pursuant to 28 U.S.C. § 1367(c)(3) because it had dismissed all of Payne’s federal claims.

Second, although the district court declined to exercise supplemental jurisdiction over McCullah’s state-law claims pursuant to 28 U.S.C. § 1367(a), our reinstatement of his Fourth Amendment claim against Officer Gadert under § 1983 will necessarily require the district court to revisit the issue of supplemental jurisdiction on remand.Read the full opinion on CourtListener →

Complete diversity requirement
Section 1367(b) does not permit supplemental jurisdiction over a plaintiff’s claim against a nondiverse defendant when that would defeat complete diversity.

Dieter v. MFS Telecom, Inc. · filed 1994-12-15(b)
The Court concluded that subject matter jurisdiction was lacking because of incomplete diversity, and dismissed the case. This logic is sound and in keeping with 28 U.S.C. §§ 1367(a) and (b). ...

Polanco v. H.B. Fuller Co. · filed 1996-09-23(b)
Plaintiff asserts, however, that if Fuller-U.S. asserts a claim against Fuller-Guatemala, then 28 U.S.C. § 1367(b) does not apply. Because the subsidiary would not then be adverse to plaintiff, she concludes, diversity will be preserved. The Court disagrees. ... Thus, were Fuller-Guatemala impleaded by Fuller-U.S., this Court would be required to realign the parties consistent with their primary interests; as the primary interests of both Fuller entities are adverse to that of plaintiff, Guatemalan citizens would be placed on both sides of the lawsuit, destroying diversity.Read the full opinion on CourtListener →

Robert Myers and Steven R. Myers v. County of Lake, Indiana · filed 1994-07-22(a)
This division between the requisites of judicial competence in § 1367(a) and the criteria for the exercise of discretion in § 1367(c) also marks, we believe, the division between matters the court must examine on its own and those that depend on an assertion of error by the litigants.

Review of discretionary remand orders
A district court’s decision to decline supplemental jurisdiction under § 1367(c)(3) is discretionary, and the resulting remand order is reviewable.
Pacificare of Oklahoma, Inc. v. Burrage · filed 1995-07-11(c)(3)
The district court's remand order is reviewable. Although remand orders under 28 U.S.C. Sec. 1447(c), (d), are not generally reviewable, the district court did not remand pursuant to these sections. The district court had federal question jurisdiction over the claim it found preempted by ERISA and had supplemental jurisdiction over the remaining claims, pursuant to 28 U.S.C. Sec. 1367(a). The district court made a discretionary decision under Sec. 1367(c)(3) not to exercise supplemental jurisdiction over the remaining claims. "A remand based on a district court's perceived discretion is not" treated as a remand under Sec. 1447(c). Albertson's, Inc. v. Carrigan, 982 F.2d 1478, 1480 (10th Cir.1993).
