You get into federal court in only two circumstances: (1) you have diversity and damages over $50,000, or (2) your case involves a question implicating federal law.

Diversity means all the plaintiffs reside in different states from all the defendants. If you base your presence in federal court based on diversity, and find out that one of the defendants lives in the same state as a plaintiff (like the doe plaintiffs), it destroys the federal court's jurisdiction (jdx) and the case can only be filed in state court.

In the ZSUN case, there are two federal law questions, so diversity is not important.
