- W305732082 abstract "The Supreme Court has long failed to provide guidance to lower courts as they seek to interpret the meaning of ambiguous congressional enactments. Thus it was no surprise that after Congress passed the Judicial Improvements Act of 1990, (1) courts began to split over language in 28 U.S.C. [section] 1367, (2) supplemental statute that appeared to grant courts sitting in diversity supplemental over claims brought parties who did not meet the amount-in-controversy requirement of 28 U.S.C. [section] 1332. (3) Last Term, in Exxon Mobil Corp. v. Allapattah Services, Inc., (4) the Supreme Court held that when the other elements of are satisfied and at least one plaintiff satisfies the amount-in-controversy requirement, section 1367 permits federal courts to exercise supplemental over the claims of additional plaintiffs in the same case or controversy, even when those claims are less than the jurisdictional amount specified in the statute setting forth the requirements for diversity (5) Disregarding the arguments advanced the four dissenting Justices, the majority not only held that section 1367 by its plain compelled this result, but also declared that the absence of in section 1367 rendered reference to the legislative history unnecessary. (6) Allapattah thus clarified that when the Court interprets statutes it considers unambiguous, it will consult only the statutory text to discern Congress's intent. This strong endorsement of textualism, combined with the majority's refusal to articulate definition of ambiguity sufficient to justify consultation of extratextual sources, suggests that the Court considers textualism (7) the theory of statutory interpretation that best comports with the Court's role as Congress's faithful agent. (8) Allapattah involved two consolidated cases. In the first, gas station owners, not all of whom met the $50,000 amount-incontroversy amount required at the time, won judgment against Exxon for intentional and systematic overcharging for fuel. (9) The trial court certified the case for interlocutory review to the Eleventh Circuit to decide the section 1367 question. (10) The Eleventh Circuit affirmed, finding that the new section 1367(a) intended a general grant of supplemental jurisdiction, which is then narrowed for diversity cases [section] 1367(b). (11) None of the exceptions in subsection (b), however, precluded grant of federal over members of class action, and so the court approved the exercise of supplemental jurisdiction, the rule of Zahn v. International Paper Co. (12) notwithstanding. (13) Allapattah's second case involved fourteen-year-old girl, Beatriz Blanco-Ortega, who had severely injured her finger on can of Star-Kist tuna. (14) Blanco-Ortega and her family filed separate products liability actions in federal court against StarKist Foods, Inc., asserting diversity under 28 U.S.C. [section] 1332. (15) Blanco-Ortega's suit alleged physical damages and pain and suffering; suits filed her relatives alleged associated emotional distress. (16) In response, Star-Kist argued, and the district court agreed, that none of the plaintiffs' claims met the $75,000 amount-in-controversy requirement; (17) the court dismissed the cases for lack of jurisdiction. (18) The First Circuit affirmed as to Blanco-Ortega's family members, but found her own claim sufficient to satisfy section 1332's $75,000 requirement. (19) The court then examined whether, on the basis of Blanco-Ortega's reinstated claim, section 1367's grant of supplemental permitted the family members' claims to proceed in federal court, (20) holding that Congress's use of the terms civil action and original jurisdiction signified Congressional intent to incorporate[] into [section] 1367 the longstanding, judicially developed doctrines that determined whether . …" @default.
