The constitution does not provide specifically for jurisdiction when a State is party to any state case. When the state is party to a case filed in FEDERAL court then that case is heard in the federal district court in that state. Every state has at least one, some have more. There are 6 federal district courts in the USA. This includes one in each territory to include DC and Puerto Rico. If the case is a state based case (filed under that state's law) then procedurally that state will hear the case.

Federal diversity jurisdiction parameters are fixed by a federal statute.
