But, it wouldn't be in a Federal Court though, correct?

The Durham gang certainly wants to keep everything in the local court system.

I don't think you can sue in a Federal Court unless you are alleging a violtion of a Federal (constitutional) right or issue.

Suing for recovery of damages isn't really a federal issue, but one for the state courts.

(Suing on the basis of being discriminated against because of your race is more in the line of being a federal issue.)
