What steps do cases go through to reach the Supreme Court?
The case must first be heard at the lowest level of court. Most states have a court system that exists in the same area as a federal magistrate court or federal district court.

Once all the lower courts have been exhausted, the lawyers may apply to be heard by the Supreme Court. The Supreme Court will determine which cases it will hear.

Where does a case go after the state Court of Appeals?
The trial phase ends at the US District Court level (or equivalent state trial court). Appeals to the federal US Court of Appeals Circuit Courts (or intermediate state appellate courts) are based on questions of process, law or constitutionality. The case is not retried; appellate courts do not render decisions about the defendants' guilt or innocence.After the intermediate appellate courts, federal cases may be petitioned to the US Supreme Court; state cases may be appealed to the state supreme court (or equivalent). If a state case involves a preserved federal question (matter or federal or constitutional law) it may be appealed to the US Supreme Court after the state supreme court hears or denies hearing on the case.Both the US Supreme Court and state supreme courts (or equivalent) have discretion over which cases they hear (although state supreme courts may have mandatory jurisdiction over certain cases, such as death penalty cases).
What has to happen for the Supreme Court to hear a case from a US District Court?

A petition of certiorari has to be filed, this will ask the Supreme Court to hear the case. At this point, the Court will either agree to hear the case, or reject it.

Can private dispute go on trial in federal court?
By the time a 'private dispute' became a case for consideration by a federal court it would have had to wend its way through every single level of the the local and state-level court systems and been appealed. and the appeals upheld, at every step of the legal process. Without specific research I cannot say that this has never happened but the odds against it ever getting that far are SLIM.
