United States First Circuit

In an appeal from a judgment of the district court dismissing plaintiff's complaint alleging that the retroactive application of state statute to breach certain settlement agreements constituted a violation of the Contracts Clause and Puerto Rico law, judgment is affirmed because the plaintiff failed to establish a constitutional claim, but reversed where the court incorrectly declined to exercise supplemental jurisdiction over remaining claims.
