Legal Question in Landlord & Tenant Law in California

This is quite confusing. In which case are you receiving the summary judgment motion? If your lawsuit in federal court deals with a matter related to the unlawful detainer, why did you not cross-complain in that proceeding, which is obviously in state court? I think you probably have a jurisdictional problem here, in which the federal court has no jurisdiction to hear purely state law questions between same-state parties (hence the summary judgment brought by the opposing party?) What is the basis of your federal court complaint? You would have to write back and clarify these issues.
