No. The courts of your filing jurisdiction would hold, unless the case has been appealed to a federal court at some junction.

The easy answer is no, but there is not enough information available to give you a definite answer. Diversity jurisdiction in federal court still requires the amount of controversy to be over $75,000.00 or a dispute that involves a federal question. Therefore, if the defendant is sued in state court, the case may only be removed to federal court if all of the requirements are met.Must a case in which a resident of Nebraska sues a citizen of Louisiana be heard in a federal court?
It doesn't have to be filed in federal court but i believe a party mile file to have it trasferred to federal court based on diversity jurisdiction.
