QUESTION PRESENTED

Defendant’s motion to dismiss this diversity action for lack of subject matter jurisdiction, Fed.R.Civ.P.12(b) (1), presents the question — of critical importance in the administration of federal justice in this District — whether the matter in controversy exceeds the sum or value of $10,000, exclusive of interest and costs, as required by 28 U.S.C.
