The johnsons are in an auto accident with a driver who lives near them in the same town. no one is injured and the johnsons' car suffered only $5,000 in damages. why can't the johnsons sue the other driver in federal court? .

The Johnson's can't sue the driver in the Federal Court because the Johnson's live in the same state (since the driver lives near the Johnson's in the same time) and the damages ($5,000.00) are too small.
