United States First Circuit
Masso-Torrellas v. Municipality of Toa Alta, 16-1319
In a 42 U.S.C. section 1983 action arising out of contracts for the construction of a municipal transportation terminal, the district court's dismissal is affirmed where,although it erred by holding that the mediation/arbitration clause applied to the section 1983 claim: 1) the section 1983 claim should be dismissed pursuant to Fed. R. Civ. P. 12(b)(6) for failure to state a claim; and thus 2) there is also no supplemental jurisdiction over the state law claims.
