1Opinion of the Court
POLITZ, Circuit Judge:
Newport Limited, a Louisiana partnership in commendam, brought suit against Sears, Roebuck and Co. alleging civil RICO violations, state-law fraud, and unfair trade practice claims. The district court dismissed the RICO claim and, declining to exercise pendent jurisdiction, dismissed without prejudice the state-law claims. Newport Ltd. v. Sears, Roebuck & Co., 739 F.Supp. 1078 (E.D.La.1990). In a brief ruling after oral argument we affirmed the dismissal of the RICO claim but reversed the decision to decline to hear the state-law claims. 937 F.2d 605 (5th Cir.1991)…
