I suspect this will be thrown out because the amount in controversy does not reach the threshold of the requirement in Federal Courts that the amount in controversy must be at least $75,000.

The validity of the amount of damages claimed is considered a threshold issue of law for a judge to decide at the commencement of the case.

The Supremes aren’t going to be drawn in to this matter by a $90 claim which is an obvious subterfuge to gain standing.

That amount applies when the parties are from different states. Federal questions have no such limitation.

IANAL
