Citizens of different states; 2. Citizens of a state and of a foreign country; 3. Some combination of citizens of different states and citizens of foreign countries; 4. A foreign country as plaintiff and citizens of a state or states. It is not mandatory that such cases be heard in the federal District Court. Plaintiffs have the option to file a case there if they so desire. If the case is filed in a state court, the defendant may ask that the case be transferred to a federal court.
