Anna sues Amanda for tort of battery because they fist fought over allegations that Amanda violated  the Fair Housing Act for refusing to rent her one of her studio apartments and finding out she gave it to someone far older and would not rent to her because she is 23. Assume that age discrimination against younger individuals is a novel federal issue and the parties disagree. Is there federal question jurisdiction over Anna's suit? 

Perhaps, based on the holding in Grable & Sons v. Darue, state claims with a federal ingredient suffice for FQJ. Here, it was (1) necessarily raised; (2) actually disputed; (3) substantial, and (4) arguably capable of resolution without dispute because it may be a one-off claim since the issue is novel but can be argued that battery is too critical of a state claim to give the federal court jurisdiction over the case.
