1Opinion of the Court
KAYATTA, Circuit Judge.
This appeal turns on whether it is certain that Plaintiff Insurance Brokers West, Inc. ,(“IBW”) has no chance to recover in excess of $75,000 should it prevail on its claim for breach of contract against Liquid Outcome, LLC, formerly known as Astonish Results, LLC (“Astonish”). For the following reasons, we agree with the district court that IBW certainly has no such chance. We therefore affirm the dismissal of IBWs complaint for failure to meet the amount-in-controversy requirement for diversity jurisdiction under 28 U.S.C. § 1332.
