California Shock Trauma Air Re v. State Compensation Insurance F, et al, No. 09-16810 (9th Cir. 2011)
Annotate this CasePlaintiff filed an action in the Eastern District of California against defendants alleging claims of quantum meruit, unjust enrichment, and open book account, as well as seeking declaratory judgment that the state statute regulating air-ambulance rates was preempted by federal law. At issue was whether plaintiff's claims were sufficient to establish federal jurisdiction over its state-law claims. The court held that there was no federal jurisdiction over any of plaintiff's claims where the well-pleaded complaint rule precluded the exercise of federal subject matter jurisdiction over purely state-law causes of action.
