K E K 0 R A N D U K
February 10, 1995
BACKGROUND:
On March 22, 1993, rl~lntitt the Resollltion Trust
LERK
AD 12A
l~t.'... 8;H~'1
Corporation initiated these actions, considered together because
of the overlapping legal and factual bases for the suits as well
as the defenses and third-party claims raised, with the filing of
complaints seeking recovery on two promissory notes. One note
was signed by the Rosses, the other by the stewarts, and both
were executed in favor of Homestead Savings and Loan Association,
a failed banking association taken over by the RTC. The notes
were in the amount of $200,000.00 each.
On September 30, 1994, the court granted the RTC's motion
for summary judgment, holding that certain defenses raised by
defendants are invalid against the RTC pursuant to the D'Oench.
Duhme doctrine. See D'Oench. Duhme & Co.. Inc. v. FDIC, 315 U.S.
447 (1942); 12 U.S.C. S 1823(e). By the same memorandum and
order, we denied motions for summary judgment filed by defendants
and third-party defendant Merrill Brofee.
Before the court is a motion by the RTC for certification of
the partial judgment as a final judgment pursuant to Fed. R. civ.
P. 54(b). For the reasons and in the manner set forth below,
that motion will be granted. We also note that the case was
inadvertently closed following the entry of judgment in favor of
the RTC, despite the remaining third-party claims. The file has
been reopened.
DISCUSSION:
In support of its motion. the RTC points out that the only
remaining claim is the third-party claim ass~rted under state
,
.
law, while the issues decided by the court were based upon
federal law. The RTC also points out that there is no reason it
should not have the "benefit" of its judgment pending disposition
of the third-party claim. Rather than analyzing the RTC's motion
under Rule 54(b), we find it more appropriate to review the
issues presented under the statutory authority for the exercise
of jurisdiction over the remaining claims.
Defendants cite as authority for this court's jurisdiction
over their third-party claims 28 U.S.C. S 1367, the "supplemental
jurisdiction" statute. See Third-party Complaint (record
document no. 10) at 2 , 4. That statute permits a district court
to exercise jurisdiction over state law claims that are related
to claims over which the district court has original
jurisdiction, the relationship being such that the claims form
part of the same case or controversy under Article III of the
United States Constitution. 28 U.S.C. S 1367(a).
The statute also provides:
The district courts may decline to exercise
supplemental jurisdiction over a claim under subsection (a)
if--
(3) the district court has dismissed all claims
over which it has original jurisdiction, ...
28 U.S.C. S 1367(c) (3). A federal court "should ordinarily
decline to exercise supplemental jurisdiction over state law
claims when the federal claims are dismissed." Heller v. CACL
Federal Credit Union, 775 f. SUPP, 839, 843 (E.D. Pa. 1991).
In this instance, the entire action is based upon state law.
The on 1 y reason the C.1"" c.',Ir1.' b., f on' th I~; c.'ollrt W,lS the
An Ut.
In.,. ;, .',
involvement of the RTC. The RTC no longer being part of the
action, the court sees no reason warranting further exercise of
supplemental jurisdiction over the state law claims, and they
will be dismissed without prejudice.
NOW, THEREFORE, IT IS ORDERED THAT the motion (record
document no. 55 in No. 1:CV-93-0413i record document no. 56 in
No. 1:CV-93-0414) of the Resolution Trust corporation for the
entry of final judgment is granted, as follows:
1. The court declines to exercise supplemental
jurisdiction over the third-party claims based upon state law.
2. The clerk is directed to enter final judgment in favor
of the Resolution Trust Corporation, consistent with our
memorandum and order of September 30, 1994.
3. Defendants' third-party claims are dismissed without
prejudice, pursuant to 28 U.S.C. S 1367(c) (3) .
4. The clerk is directed to close the case file.

Corporation initiated these actions, consldered together because
of the overlapping legal and factual bases for the s4its as well
as the defenses and third-party claims raised, with the filing of
complaints seeking recovery on two promissory notes. One note
was slgned by the Rosses, the other by the Stewarts, and both
were executed in favor of Homestead SaVings and Loan Association,
a failed banking association taken over by the RTC. The notes
were in the amount of $200,000.00 each.
On September 30, 1994, the court granted the RTC's motion
for summary judgment, holding that certain defenses raised by
defendants are invalid against the RTC pursuant to the D/Oench.
DUhme doctrine. ~ D/Oench. Duhme & Co.. Inc. v. FDIC, 315 U.S.
447 (1942); 12 U.S.C. S 1823(e). By the same memorandum and
order, we denied motions for summary judgment filed by defendants
and third-party defendant Herrill Brofee.
Before the court is a motion by the RTC for certification of
the partial judgment as a final judgment pursuant to Fed. R. Civ.
P. 54(b). For the reasons and in the manner set forth below,
that motion will be granted. We also note that the case was
inadvertently closed following the entry of judgment in favor of
the RTC, despite the remaining third-party claims. The file has
been reopened.
DISCUSSION:
In support or lts motlon. the RTC pOlnts out that the only
remainlng ctal~ is the thlrd-party ~tal~ ]sserted ~nder state
I
involvement of the RTC. The RTC no longer being part of the
action, the court sees no reason warranting further exercise of
supplemental jurisdiction over the state law claims, and they
will be dismissed without prejudice.
NOW, THEREFORE, IT IS ORDERED THAT the motion (record
document no. 55 in No. 1:CV-93-0413i record document no. 56 in
No. 1:CV-93-0414) of the Resolution Trust Corporation for the
entry of final judgment is granted, as follows:
1. The court declines to exercise supplemental
jurisdiction over the third-party claims based upon state law.
2. The clerk is directed to enter final judgment in favor
of the Resolution Trust Corporation, consistent with our
memorandum and order of September 30, 1994.
3. Defendants' third-party claims are dismissed without
prejudice, pursuant to 28 U.S.C. S 1367(c) (3).
4. The clerk is directed to close the case file.

~ Corporation initiated these actlons, consldered together because
~ of the overlapping legal and factual bases for the suits as well
i as the defenses and third-party claims raised, with the filing of
I
,
I complaints seeking recovery on two promissory notes. One note
was signed by the Rosses, the other by the Stewarts, and both
were executed in favor of Homestead Savings and Loan Association,
a failed banking association taken over by the RTC. The notes
were in the amount of $200,000.00 each.
On September JO, 1994, the court granted the RTC's motion
for summary judgment, holding that certain defenses raised by
defendants are invalid against the RTC pursuant to the D'Oench.
Duhme doctrine. See D'Oench. Duhme & Co., Inc. v. fDIC, J15 U.S.
447 (1942); 12 U.S.C. S 182J(e). By the same memorandum and
order, we denied motions for summary judgment filed by defendants
and third-party defendant Merrill Brofee.
Before the court is a motion by the RTC for certification of
the partial judgment as a final judgment pursuant to Fed. R. Civ.
P. 54(b). For the reasons and in the manner set forth below,
that motion will be granted. We also note that the case was
inadvertently closed following the entry of judgment in favor of
the RTC, despite the remaining third-party claims. The file has
been reopened.
DISCUSSION:
In support of its motion. the RTC pOlnts out that the only
remaining claim 1S the third-party c:airn asserted ~nder state

law, while the issues decided by the court were based upon
federal law. The RTC also points out that there is no reason it
should not have the "benefit" of its judgment pending disposition
of the third-party claim. Rather than analyzing the RTC's motion
under Rule 54(b), we find it more appropriate to review the
issues presented under the statutory authority for the exercise
of jurisdiction over the remaining claims.
Defendants cite as authority for this court's jurisdiction
over their third-party claims 28 U.S.C. S 1367, the "supplemental
jurisdiction" statute. ~ Third-Party Complaint (record
document no. 10) at 2 , 4. That statute permits a district court
to exercise jurisdiction over state law claims that are related
to claims over which the district court has original
jurisdiction, the relationship being such that the claims form
part of the same case or controversy under Article III of the
United states Constitution. 28 U.S.C. S 1367(a).
The statute also provides:
The district courts may decline to exercise
supplemental jurisdiction over a claim under subsection (a)
if--
(3) the district court has dismissed all claims
over which it has original jurisdiction, ...
28 U.S.C. S 1367(c)(3). A federal court "should ordinarily
decline to exercise supplemental jurisdiction over state law
claims when the federal claims are dismissed." Heller v. CACL
Federal Credit Union. 775 F. Supp, 839. 843 (E.D. Pa. 1991).
In this lnstance, the entire action is based upon state law.
The only reason the case ca~e cefore thiS court was the
..,) ':A
~... !'\ f!~\
II
involvement of the RTC. The RTC no longer being part of the
action, the court sees no reason warranting further exercise of
supplemental jurisdiction over the state law claims, and they
will be dismissed without prejudice.
NOW, THEREFORE, IT IS ORDERED THAT the motion (record
document no. 55 in No. 1:CV-93-0413; record document no. 56 in
No. 1:CV-93-0414) of the Resolution Trust Corporation for the
entry of final judgment is granted, as follows:
1. The court declines to exercise supplemental
jurisdiction over the third-party claims based upon state law.
2. The clerk is directed to enter final judgment in favor
of the Resolution Trust Corporation, consistent with our
memorandum and order of September 30, 1994.
3. Defendants' third-party claims are dismissed without
prejudice, pursuant to 28 U.S.C. S 1367(c) (3).
4. The clerk is directed to close the case file.
