Court of Appeals for the Ninth Circuit April 24, 2003, Nos. 02-15152, 02-15204, 02-15831; D.C. No. CV-98-01246-PMP; D.C. Nos. CV-98-01246-PMP(RJJ), CV-00-00309-PMP(RJJ) (Trustees of the Construction Industry v. Desert Valley Landscape & Maintenance, Inc.)

MEMORANDUM **

The district court dismissed Trustees’ claims against Richardson for two reasons: It doubted that pendent party jurisdiction was constitutional and, to the extent that it was constitutional, declined to exercise supplemental jurisdiction. We review de novo the issue whether the district court had supplemental jurisdiction. See Hoeck v. City of Portland, 57 F.3d 781, 784 (9th Cir.
