When federal claims have been dismissed, what are the remaining causes of action?
MultiRegion, United States of America
The following excerpt is from Tjaden v., CASE NO. 13-cv-3173 JM (DBH) (S.D. Cal. 2015):
Plaintiffs' remaining causes of action depend upon state law. When the federal claims that served as the basis for jurisdiction are eliminated, federal courts may decline to assert supplemental jurisdiction over the remaining state-law claims. See 28 U.S.C. 1367(c)(3); Acri v. Varian Assocs., Inc., 114 F.3d 999, 1000 (9th Cir. 1997) (courts may sua sponte dismiss state-law claims if federal claims are dismissed).
