Cristina Morales · Answer 1

No, the motion will not be granted

Explanation:

First, Kevin is a resident in Illinois and the suit was filed under federal statute in an Illinois District Court. The next thing to consider is that Lorenzo is a resident of Wyoming, but the day the case was filed against him, he was in Illinois. Due to the fact that this case involves personal as well as subject matter jurisdiction, it is impossible for the motion to dismiss the case to be granted.
