Section 1367(a) provides no basis for supplemental jurisdiction over state-law claims against defendants protected by Eleventh Amendment immunity or defendants over whom personal jurisdiction is lacking.

Grezak v. Ropes & Gray LLP · filed 2020-04-16(a)

Because the Eleventh Amendment barred all of Gre- zak’s claims against MHLS, there was no basis for exercising supplemental jurisdiction over any state-law claims against that defendant. ... And since personal jurisdiction was lacking over the other defendants, there was no basis for exercising supplemental ju- risdiction over state-law claims against them, either.

Stansbury v. McCarty Corporation · filed 2022-10-04(c)(1)

Section 1367(c)(1) permits a district court to decline supplemental jurisdiction over state-law medical malpractice claims that involve complex issues of state law.

Smith v. Prator · filed 2022-10-05(c)(1)

The Court may decline to exercise supplemental jurisdiction where the state-law claim “raises a novel or complex issue of State law” or “substantially predominates over the claim or claims over which the district court has original jurisdiction.” 28 U.S.C. § 1367. Because this Court finds that the state-law claims against Dr. Nelson sound in medical malpractice, and these claims therefore involve complex issues of state law, judicial economy favors the dismissal of these claims without prejudice.

Jury instruction complexity

Section 1367(c) does not justify a blanket refusal to exercise supplemental jurisdiction over state claims merely because instructing the jury on both state and federal claims may be difficult or misleading.

Velazquez v. City of Long Beach · filed 2015-07-15(c)

Rather, the district court’s sole explanation for the dismissal was that instructing the jury on the § 1983 claims while simultaneously instructing it on the state claims for false arrest and assault and battery would be difficult or misleading. ... We therefore hold that the district court abused its discretion in blanketly refusing to exercise supplemental jurisdiction, and so reverse its dismissal of Velazquez’s state law claims.

If MPEHA is determined to have been an ERISA entity at relevant times, we note that the remaining claim would appear to fall within the trial court's supplemental jurisdiction under 28 U.S.C. § 1367, even though MPEHA has now been dismissed.

Section 1367 permits a district court to retain related state law claims arising from the same transactions as a federal claim when state law does not predominate.

Keil v. CIGNA & Intracorp Rehab Management · filed 1997-09-15

14.The Court finds that the entire ease should remain in this Court and that remand of plaintiffs single state law claim is not appropriate. All of plaintiffs claims, state and federal, appear to arise out of the same transactions and incidents. Because it does not appear that there are matters in which state law predominates, the Court believes that it is an appropriate exercise of discretion to retain the entire case rather than remanding state law questions to the state courts for determination.

Suez Equity Investors, L.P. v. The Toronto-Dominion Bank · filed 2001-05-08

Judge Wood was well within her discretion to reach these claims. The operative facts in the state and federal causes of action are the same, satisfying the Article III requirements for pendent jurisdiction. See Lyndonville Sav. Bank & Trust Co. v. Lussier, 211 F.3d 697, 704 (2d Cir. 2000) (discussing United Mine Workers v. Gibbs, 383 U.S. 715, 725 (1966)). Nor was it error for the district court to reach the state law causes of action against defendants Rindahl, Capital, Holdings, and Securities after dismissing the federal securities claims against them. The standards governing the state and federal law causes of action are similar and, in addressing the latter, Judge Wood was obliged to explore fully the allegations in the complaint. Reaching the state law claims was entirely appropriate as an exercise of the district court's discretion. See 28 U.S.C. § 1367 (1994); Wanamaker v. Columbian Rope Co., 108 F.3d 462, 467 (2d Cir. 1997) (finding no abuse of discretion in dismissing state age discrimination claims along with ADEA claim).

Section 1367(c) permits a district court to exercise supplemental jurisdiction over related state claims when they do not predominate and no exceptional circumstances warrant declining jurisdiction, especially where the court retained authority to enforce the underlying settlement.

Myers v. Richland County · filed 2003-10-23(c)

Therefore, state claims cannot be said to predominate. Without the former federal claim, the state claims would not exist. This Court clearly and expressly retained jurisdiction over claims resulting from any subsequent breach of the settlement agreement, and this Court is in the best position to enforce its own decrees. Furthermore, this claim is not exceptional, it is a breach of contract suit and nothing more. The mere fact that the plaintiff was an elected official does not make this case exceptional. Therefore, after considering all of the factors under 28 U.S.C. § 1367(c), the Court declines the defendant’s request to abstain and it will exercise supplemental jurisdiction over the present case.

Section 1367 permits supplemental jurisdiction over a setoff connected to a claim within federal jurisdiction, but leaves its exercise to discretion; in arbitration, the arbitrator exercises that discretion within the scope of the arbitration clause.

Lefkovitz, Sigmund v. Wagner, Nathan · filed 2005-01-18

Our view is that jurisdiction in such a case is possible but not automatic, because the jurisdictional issue is governed by 28 U.S.C. § 1367. That statute defines the supplemental jurisdiction of the federal courts, which is to say their juris- diction over matters related to matters over which federal jurisdiction is explicitly conferred. Channell v. Citicorp Nat’l Services, Inc., 89 F.3d 379, 384-86 (7th Cir. 1996); Jones v. Ford Motor Credit Co., 358 F.3d 205, 212-14 (2d Cir. 2004). The statute makes the exercise of supplemental jurisdiction dis- cretionary with the district court. So if this arbitration were instead a proceeding before the district court, it would be up to the judge, subject only to light appellate review, to determine whether to allow the setoff to be litigated before him. It seems to us—we cannot find a case on the point— that where the matter is before an arbitrator, the discretion should be his to exercise, with due regard for the principle that the scope of the arbitrator’s authority is defined by the arbitration clause itself.

Section 1367(c) permits a court to retain supplemental jurisdiction when state and federal claims are intertwined and economy, convenience, and fairness favor resolving them.

Courtland Realty Associates v. Nash · filed 2013-11-25(c)

Furthermore, principles of economy, convenience, and fairness strongly counsel in favor of this court retaining jurisdiction and resolving, finally, the rights of these parties. ... Even if the jurisdictional basis was solely based on supplemental jurisdiction under 28 U.S.C. § 1367, however, I find that there are numerous reasons to continue exercising jurisdiction over the case.

Section 1367 allows a district court to retain supplemental jurisdiction over a state law claim after the federal claims are dismissed, while leaving it discretion to decline jurisdiction when the state claim predominates.

McCray v. Carter · filed 2014-07-03(c)(2), (3)

Plaintiff, however, has not appealed the dismissal of her federal claims, and those causes of actions will not go forward on remand. The district court continues to have supplemental jurisdiction over Plaintiff’s WPA claim, see Musson Theatrical, Inc. v. Fed. Exp. Corp., 89 F.3d 1244, 1255 (6th Cir. 1996), but this state law claim entirely dominates the case at this point in proceedings. See 28 U.S.C. § 1367(c)(2), (3). The district court may wish to consider whether the courts of the State of Michigan are the more appropriate forum for this dispute, which involves significant issues of fact and law for the State and the City of Detroit. However, this choice lies entirely within the sound discretion of the district court.

Section 1367(c)(4) leaves a federal court discretion to retain supplemental jurisdiction over state tort claims despite a state statute giving state circuit courts exclusive original jurisdiction, especially when dismissal would cause duplicative litigation.

White v. Washington County · filed 2015-01-12(c)(4)

The Court’s exercise of supplemental jurisdiction is, as defendants point out, discretionary and the Court may decline to exercise such jurisdiction even if otherwise proper “in exceptional circumstances [where] there are other compelling reasons for declining jurisdiction.” 28 U.S.C. § 1367(c)(4). ... The undersigned continues to find the rationale outlined in Brown persuasive, particularly given the early stage of this case. If the TGTLA claims were dismissed, the plaintiff would be required to pursue those claims in a separate state court action while also pursuing her federal claims, which arise from the same set of operative facts, in this Court. Such a result would be duplicative and a waste of judicial and the parties’ resources. Accordingly, the Court declines to exercise its discretion to dismiss the plaintiffs TGTLA claims at this time and the motion to dismiss will be DENIED in part.

None of these rulings was an abuse of discretion.
