Leah sued City Bus Co. and driver Owen in federal court. Count 1 asserts a federal civil-rights claim against City Bus based on a bus-stop arrest. Count 2 asserts a state-law battery claim against Owen based on the same arrest. Count 3 asserts a state-law negligence claim against City Bus for a separate bus accident involving Leah three months earlier. Leah and Owen are citizens of the same state; City Bus is a citizen of a different state.
After discovery, the court grants summary judgment to City Bus on the federal civil-rights claim. Owen moves to dismiss the battery claim for lack of subject matter jurisdiction, and City Bus moves to dismiss the unrelated bus-accident claim. Leah argues that all claims may stay because they involve the same defendant business and because the federal claim was proper when filed.
Which state-law claims, if any, fall within supplemental jurisdiction, and may the court decline jurisdiction after dismissing the federal claim? Discuss.
