Executive Summary
The N.D. California issued an order to show cause in a single-plaintiff employment discrimination case against Home Depot, finding that the company failed to establish that the amount in controversy exceeds $75,000 for federal diversity jurisdiction. The case involves estimated damages below $50,000 in lost wages and emotional distress, making it financially immaterial for a $356.9B market cap company.
