Text: As with most insurance coverage disputes, state law provides the rules of decision for all of Street/National Union's claims, but we consider this a neutral factor here. [A]lthough `the presence of federal-law issues must always be a major consideration weighing against surrender' [of jurisdiction], the `presence of state-law issues may weigh in favor of that surrender' only `in some rare circumstances.' Travelers, 914 F.2d at 1370 (quoting Moses H. Cone, 460 U.S. at 26, 103 S.Ct. 927). This case does not present such rare circumstances. The complexity of the Vulcan Action and related matters stems from the number of policies and insurers, not from the type of law involved in the action. Because the cases here involve routine issues of state law, such as breach of contract, indemnification and subrogation, this factor does not weigh against jurisdiction. See id. (concluding the same where the cases involved state law claims for misrepresentation, breach of fiduciary duty and breach of contract).
