Which of the following Are the Requirements for a Diversity-Of-Citizenship Case

If a plaintiff or co-defendant opposes deportation, he or she may request pre-trial detention and ask the federal court to refer the case to state court. Pre-trial detention is rarely granted when diversity and size requirements are met in controversy. However, remand may be granted if a non-diverse party joins the application or if the parties settle certain claims among themselves, the value of the claim remaining less than the amount required.
