The following excerpt is from Commercial Credit Grp. Inc. v. Hundal Truck Line-Htl, LLC, No. 2:15-cv-02670-GEB-EFB (E.D. Cal. 2016):

"Federal courts are courts of limited jurisdiction. They possess only that power authorized by Constitution and statute . . . . It is to be presumed that a cause lies outside this limited jurisdiction, and the burden of establishing the contrary rests upon the party asserting jurisdiction." Kokkonen v. Guardian Life Ins. Co. of Am., 511 U.S. 375, 377 (1994) (citations omitted).
