Chris (a Biden supporter) and Jake (a Trump supporter) walk into a bar. At first, they engage in some friendly discussion about vaccine mandates, critical race theory, and the events on January 6. When the discussion turns to recent North Carolina Court of Appeals decisions about whether to follow the Mas or Gordon approach to domicile, however, the conversation quickly deteriorates into nasty ad hominem attacks. Chris insults Jake's mother, insinuating that she doesn't even know where she's domiciled while everyone in the area gasps in astonishment. Flying into a rage, Jake attacks Chris with a chair. Chris sues Jake for assault and battery and alleges $40,000 in damages. Jake counterclaims for slander and alleges $40,000 in damages. This meets the amount in controversy.A.TrueB.False
