While the Eighth Circuit has not squarely decided the matter in a reported opinion, the Court notes that the overwhelming weight of local authority recognizes that reasonable future attorney fees, when recoverable as damages, are part of the "amount in controversy" and should be considered to establish diversity jurisdiction. See, e.g., Skoda v. Lilly USA LLC, 488 F. App'x 161, 164 (8th Cir. 2012); Geronimo Energy, LLC v. Polz, No. 16-3901, 2017 WL 758924, at *2 (D. Minn. Feb. 27, 2017); Mueller v. RadioShack Corp., No. 11-0653, 2011 WL 6826421, at *2 (D. Minn. Dec. 28, 2011); Delsing v. Starbucks Coffee Corp., No. 08-1154, 2010 WL 1507642, at *3 (D. Minn. Apr. 14, 2010); Feller v. Hartford Life & Accident Ins. Co., 817 F. Supp. 2d 1097, 1104-08 (S.D. Iowa 2010). The Court finds these cases persuasive and rejects the Seventh Circuit's position on this question.
