A medical assistant is asked to work in a newly opened office that is also owned by the physician. The expansion has been discussed for many months and is well anticipated. The medical assistant has proven a good employee in medical office A, and this is why she has been asked to work in the new office. The hope is that the assistant will be as effective in office B as in office A. Once she arrives at the new office, the medical assistant quickly realizes that the systems and protocols, she has become an expert in, will have to be significantly modified for use in the new office.

1. Inasmuch as Ms. Kopp’s medical bills were well below the jurisdictional amount, how could she make a good faith claim that she had enough damages to satisfy the jurisdictional amount requirement?
2. How closely do you believe federal district court judges should scrutinize a plaintiff’s assertions in the complaint about having sufficient damages to satisfy the jurisdictional amount in cases in which federal subject matter jurisdiction is based on diversity of citizenship (i.e., plaintiff brings a diversity action)?
3. Assume that a plaintiff brings a diversity action in federal district court. Assume further that the plaintiff is ultimately awarded a money judgment for $60,000.
