No. The courts of your filing jurisdiction would hold, unless the case has been appealed to a federal court at some junction.
If you sued a resident of Louisiana (not citizen), but filed the motion in Nebraska, then it would be heard by a Nebraska court (assuming the court did not negate its jurisdiction in the case).

The easy answer is no, but there is not enough information available to give you a definite answer. Diversity jurisdiction in federal court still requires the amount of controversy to be over $75,000.00 or a dispute that involves a federal question. Therefore, if the defendant is sued in state court, the case may only be removed to federal court if all of the requirements are met.

It doesn't have to be filed in federal court but i believe a party mile file to have it trasferred to federal court based on diversity jurisdiction.
