Heading: The Supplemental Jurisdiction Issue

Text: Finally, Streambend appeals the district court’s decision to decline supplemental jurisdiction over the state law claims. See 28 U.S.C. § 1367(c)(2). “When a district court dismisses federal claims over which it has original jurisdiction, the balance of interests usually will point toward declining to exercise jurisdiction over the remaining state law claims.” In re Canadian Import Antitrust Litig., 470 F.3d 785, 792 (8th Cir. 2006) (quotation omitted). Streambend does not challenge the district court’s exercise of this discretion. Rather, it first argues that we should revive the state law claims if we reverse the dismissal of any ILSA claims. Our decision to affirm those dismissals moots this contention. Second, Streambend argues the district court should have remanded the state law claims to state court, rather than dismiss them without prejudice. We reject this contention because a district court has no -17- power to remand a non-removed case to state court. See Carnegie-Mellon Univ. v. Cohill, 484 U.S. 343, 351 (1988) (“because the plaintiff in Gibbs filed his suit in federal court, remand was not an option in the case”) (referring to the landmark decision in United Mine Workers of Am. v. Gibbs, 383 U.S. 715 (1966)). For the foregoing reasons, the judgment of the district court is affirmed. ______________________________ -18-
