Outcome

The court granted the defendant's motion to dismiss the first amended complaint for lack of subject matter jurisdiction because plaintiffs failed to allege sufficient facts to establish that the amount in controversy exceeded $5 million as required for federal question jurisdiction. The dismissal was with leave to amend.

What This Ruling Means

**Worker Sues Pentagon Federal Credit Union Over Contract Dispute** A worker filed a lawsuit against Pentagon Federal Credit Union claiming the company broke their employment contract. The employee brought the case to federal court, seeking damages for the alleged contract violation. However, the court dismissed the case without ruling on whether the credit union actually did anything wrong. The judge found that the worker didn't provide enough information to prove their case belonged in federal court. Federal courts can only hear certain types of cases, and this one didn't meet the requirements. Specifically, the worker failed to show that the dispute involved enough money (over $5 million) to qualify for federal court. The good news for the worker is that the dismissal came "with leave to amend," meaning they can refile their lawsuit with better information if they choose to do so. **What This Means for Workers:** This case shows how important it is to file employment lawsuits in the right court with proper documentation. Workers need to carefully consider whether their case belongs in federal or state court, and ensure they provide enough detail about their claims and potential damages when filing.
