Case Summary
A plaintiff amended her complaint after removal to delete the federal claims that supplied federal jurisdiction, leaving only state-law claims. The Court held that the amendment eliminates supplemental jurisdiction over the remaining state claims and requires remand to state court. The federal court cannot retain the state claims merely because the case was properly removed at the outset.
