The federal courts often are called the guardians of the Constitution because their rulings protect rights and liberties guaranteed by the Constitution. The federal court system hears both civil and criminal cases and is broken down into three levels. There are generally three ways a case can be filed in federal court: the case involves federal law, the case raises a question of U.S. Constitution interpretation, or the case involves parties from more than one state and the amount in question is more that $50,000.

From Moore's blog
Leckrone has filed to move my Calilfornia Superior Court complaint to US District Court. He pretends it concerns patents, when it claims breach of contract and fraud. This will delay resolution of the issues.
Regardless of the reason Moore gives for Leckrone's having the case moved to US District Court, based on the above underlined info wouldn't it be a federal case because the parties live in more than one state and the amount in question is more than $50K?
Ron, Brian, Milestone....any other person with legal knowledge?
