A plaintiff properly filed a complaint in federal district court under diversity jurisdiction against an electrician. According

to the complaint, the electrician allegedly negligently performed electrical work in a building owned by the plaintiff, which resulted in a fire that caused $150,000 in damages to the building. The electrician served an answer to the complaint. Twelve days later, the electrician filed with the court and served, without leave of the court, a summons and third-party complaint on his partner. The electrician and his partner are citizens of different states. According to this complaint, if the electrician is liable to the plaintiff, the partner is liable to the electrician for half of the damages. The partner has moved to dismiss this claim against him.

Answer:

Allow the claim, because the electrician has timely asserted the claim against his partner, and the court has supplemental jurisdiction.

Explanation:

In the given scenario after the electrician has been served with the complaint, he in turn filed twelve days later with the court and served, without leave of the court, a summons and third-party complaint on his partner.

The electrician and the partner are in different states.

Supplemental jurisdiction gives a federal court the right to hear additional claims related to a case before them. Even though the court would not normally have jurisdiction if the claim were presented independently.

So the court can here the claim even when the partner is from another state. Also the electrician asserted the claim in a timely manner.
