In heаvy trаffic оn Rоute 66 in Nоrthern Arizonа, Arizona resident Clark Kent’s vehicle was rear-ended by another driven by Lex Luthor (an Illinois resident). Mr. Kent claimed that Mr. Luthor's failure to keep a proper lookout and maintain a safe distance between vehicles amounted to negligence. Mr. Kent also claimed that he sustained a torn rotator cuff, which required surgery. Mr. Kent brings suit against Mr. Luthor. Using the fact pattern above, respond to the following question. Assume Mr. Kent’s claimed damages are only $20,000 and both he and Lex Luthor are both Arizona residents, what is one reason he would not be able to bring his suit in Federal Court?
