Santiago v. Executive Airlines ( 1999 )

[NOT FOR PUBLICATION NOT TO BE CITED AS PRECEDENT]
United States Court of Appeals
For the First Circuit
No. 99-1576
AIDA I. SANTIAGO,
Plaintiff, Appellee,
v.
EXECUTIVE AIRLINES, INC.,
Defendant, Appellant.
APPEAL FROM THE UNITED STATES DISTRICT COURT
FOR THE DISTRICT OF PUERTO RICO
[Hon. Raymond L. Acosta, U.S. District Judge]
Before
Torruella, Chief Judge,
Boudin and Lipez, Circuit Judges.
Carlos A. Rodriguez-Vidal and Goldman, Antonetti & Cordova on
brief for appellant.
December 29, 1999
Per Curiam. We carefully have reviewed the record
and submissions, and we affirm. The claims under Puerto Rico
law did not closely parallel the federal claims, so we cannot
say the district court abused its discretion in dismissing
those claims without prejudice under 28 U.S.C. 1367(c)(3) and
allowing a court more accustomed to those claims to address
them; see Penobscot Indian Nation v. Key Bank, 112 F.3d 538,
564 (1st Cir. 1996) (district court must take into account
concerns of comity and judicial economy in exercising its
discretion under 28 U.S.C. 1367(c)(3)).
Affirmed. 1st Cir. Loc. R. 27(c).
