7. The Johnsons are in an auto accident with a driver who lives near them in the same town. No one is injured but the Johnsons' car suffered $5,000 in damages. Why can't the Johnsons sue the other driver in federal court?

Answer:

The Johnsons live in the same state with the other driver, intact they are neighbours. So this issue will be handled by the district court.

The damages that occurred on the Johnson's car ($5,000) is too small to be handled by federal court.
