Explanation:
I think the above phrase means district court including Kent County District Court in Michigan, USA, since before the phrase "or whose district includes" there is a mention about state or federal court. Therefore, you could file a suit regarding any arising controversy or dispute to three types of courts, State, Federal or District.
