Fastcase, Inc. v. Lawriter, LLC
Court of Appeals for the Eleventh Circuit

1Opinion of the Court
TJOFLAT, Circuit Judge:
Fastcase, Inc., appeals the District Court's dismissal of its suit under the Declaratory Judgment Act against Lawriter, LLC. The District Court held that it lacked subject-matter jurisdiction under 21 U.S.C. § 1331 because Fastcase's complaint presented no federal question. The District Court also held that it lacked jurisdiction under 28 U.S.C. § 1332 (a) because Fastcase failed to satisfy the jurisdictional minimum. Because both of these rulings were erroneous, we vacate the District Court's order and remand the case for further proceedings.
