PASSAGE
P, a citizen of California, sues D, also a citizen of California, in federal court, asserting a claim under the federal antitrust laws. P also wants to join in the same complaint a state-law breach-of-contract claim against D arising from a separate, unrelated business deal.
Rule 18(a) provides: "A party asserting a claim, counterclaim, crossclaim, or third-party claim may join, as independent or alternative claims, as many claims as it has against an opposing party."
28 U.S.C. §1367(a) provides: "Except as provided in subsections (b) and (c) or in express provisions of another federal statute, in any civil action of which the district courts have original jurisdiction, the district courts shall have supplemental jurisdiction over all other claims that are so related to claims in the action within such original jurisdiction that they form part of the same case or controversy under Article III of the United States Constitution."
May P join the state-law contract claim in the federal antitrust action?
