No. Sue in circuit court in NE and the defendant will have to travel there to respond. That is assuming the tort offense occurred in NE. If it occurred in LA, the case must be filed there. In either case it will not be heard in a federal court.
It can be heard in a Nebraska court, a Louisiana court or a federal court.
