Most-quoted passages

“First, the court must examine whether the constitutional power to exercise such jurisdiction exists. Second, the court must examine whether Congress has limited the court’s power to exercise pendent party jurisdiction in the specific statutory provision confronting federal jurisdiction in that case. (Citation omitted). The constitutional power to exercise pendent party jurisdiction exists if the federal claim is not frivolous, the federal and state claims “derive from a common nucleus of operative fact,” and the federal and state claims are the kind that the plaintiff “would ordinarily be expected to try ... in one judicial proceeding.” (Citations omitted). The statutory power to exercise pendent party jurisdiction depends upon whether “Congress in the [particular statutory grant at issue] has ... expressly or by implication negated” pendent party jurisdiction. (Citations omitted).”
