2 sentences

2021More specifically, and in the context of the facts before us today, applying state preclusion law to a state law claim when a federal court declines to exercise jurisdiction over and/or dismisses it without prejudice and without considering its merits would not undermine "federal courts' interest in the integrity of their own processes." See Semtek, 531 U.S. at 509 (providing, as an example, that a state's failure to estop "willful violation[s] of discovery orders . . . might justify a contrary federal rule").

2021To the contrary, applying Kansas preclusion law furthers the "federalism principle of Erie" by ensuring there are not "'"substantial" variations [in outcomes] between state and federal litigation' which would '[l]ikely . . . influence the choice of a forum.'" 531 U.S. at 504 (quoting Hanna, 380 U.S. at 467-68 ).
