Patty can bring a lawsuit in Federal Court because of **Diversity of Citizenship**.
In order for a case to qualify for federal jurisdiction based on diversity of citizenship, two requirements must be met:
1. The plaintiff and the defendant must be citizens of different states (which is the case here, as Patty is from Nebraska and Darla is from Kansas).
2. The amount in controversy must exceed $75,000 (which it does, as Patty's damages are $96,000).
Since both requirements are satisfied, Patty can file her lawsuit in Federal Court based on diversity of citizenship.
