How closely do you believe federal district court judges should scrutinize

/in /by

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. Is the fact that plaintiff’s damage award was for less than the jurisdictional amount of any jurisdictional significance if the case is appealed to a federal court of appeals?
