No.
A federal court would have no jurisdiction over disputes between individuals that would be considered "small claims." If the dispute were between residents of the same state over a debt, for example, there would be no federal question, therefore no federal jurisdiction. If the dispute were between residents of different states, the federal courts would have diversity of citizenship jurisdiction only if the amount in controversy exceeded $75,000.

Pennsylvania's small claims court?
Theoretically, small claims cases in Pennsylvania may be heard in one of three courts: the Court of Common Pleas, Magisterial District Courts, and Community Courts. Which court is right for a particular small claims case depends largely on the county where the case is filed. Some counties, for example, do not have Community Courts. The best thing to do is contact the civil department of the Court of Common Pleas in your county (sometimes called the prothonotary) and ask what the small claims options are for that particular county. A directory of Pennsylvania courts, organized by county, as well as a listing of Pennsylvania court resources that may assist you in your case, can be found at the Pennsylvania Courts Guide related link.
