Second Circuit -- Salim Shahriar et al. v. Smith & Wollensky

District Court did not abuse discretion by exercising supplementary jurisdiction over state law claims ancillary to the federal claim, even where the size of the state (now non-putative) class exceeded the federal size.

Maybe a circuit split - contrary circuit kinda distinguished.

Certification of class was kosher.
