The plaintiff, a resident of State A, was visiting the home of the defendant, who resides in State B. As the plaintiff was leaving the house, she fell through a rotted plank in the front steps and broke her ankle. The plaintiff underwent several surgeries and extensive rehabilitation. She brought suit in federal district court, alleging that the defendant negligently maintained her premises and asking for relief in the amount of $150,000. The defendant filed a counterclaim alleging that the plaintiff owes her $5,000 as payment for web design work that the defendant completed for the plaintiff. If the plaintiff filed a motion to dismiss the defendant’s counterclaim for lack of jurisdiction, will the plaintiff succeed?
A. No, because the parties maintain complete diversity.
B. No, because the federal district court may exercise supplemental jurisdiction over counterclaims.
C. Yes, because the defendant’s counterclaim does not meet the amount-in-controversy requirement for diversity jurisdiction.
D. Yes, because the federal district court may only exercise supplemental jurisdiction when the action includes compulsory counterclaims.
