Bradshaw v. Stumpf, p. 175. 2. Limitations period—Relation back of amended petition.—A state prisoner’s amendment to his federal habeas petition does not relate back to his timely original petition (and thereby avoid 1-year limitations period imposed by Antiterrorism and Effective Death Penalty Act of 1996) when amendment asserts a new ground for relief supported by facts different in time and type from those set forth in original petition. Mayle v. Felix, p. 644. 3. Motion for relief from habeas judgment—Successive habeas peti- tions.—Because petitioner’s Federal Rule of Civil Procedure 60(b) motion challenged only District Court’s previous ruling on Antiterrorism and Ef- fective Death Penalty Act of 1996’s statute of limitations, it is not equiva- lent to a successive habeas petition and can be ruled upon by that court without precertification by Eleventh Circuit; however, under proper Rule 60(b) standards, District Court correctly denied relief here.

INMATE CLASSIFICATIONS. See Constitutional Law, III, 2. INTERNET. See Copyrights. INTERSTATE COMMERCE. See Constitutional Law, II. JURISDICTION. 1. Diversity action—Supplemental jurisdiction—Amount-in- controversy requirement.—Where other elements of jurisdiction are pres- ent and at least one named plaintiff in an action satisfies 28 U.S.C. § 1332(a)’s amount-in-controversy requirement, § 1367 authorizes supple- mental jurisdiction over claims of other plaintiffs in same Article III case or controversy, even if those claims are for less than requisite amount. Exxon Mobil Corp. v. Allapattah Services, Inc., p. 546. 2. Removal to federal court—Federal-question jurisdiction—State quiet title action.—National interest in providing a federal forum for fed- eral tax litigation is sufficiently substantial to support exercise of federal- question jurisdiction over petitioner’s state quiet title action on removal to federal court.
