Will the court grant the teachers motion


Question: A teacher who had checked into a hotel held a party for her friends in her hotel room. During the party, she and her guests spilled several glasses of wine on the furniture and also broke a lamp. The next day, the teacher slipped on a puddle beside the hotel pool and injured her back. She brought a lawsuit in federal court located in State A against the hotel, alleging that the hotel had been negligent and that she had suffered damages in the amount of $85,000. In its answer, the hotel brought a counterclaim against the teacher for her failure to pay for the damage she had caused to her hotel room. The hotel based its claims on a tort theory, and alleged damages in the amount of $5000. The hotel is located in State A. The teacher is a resident of a foreign country. The teacher moved to dismiss the hotel's counterclaim, arguing that the court did not have subject matter jurisdiction to consider it. Will the court grant the teacher's motion?
