NICOLE ROGERS,

Plaintiff,

No. 2:13-cv-1230 JAM CKD PS

v.

ORDER

GLENN RUST, et al.,

15

Defendants.

16
Plaintiff is proceeding in this action pro se. Plaintiff has filed a one page complaint that is

17
18

vague and ambiguous as to what claims plaintiff is making. Plaintiff has also attached to the

19

complaint a copy of a grievance form from the Sacramento County Sheriff’s Department. The

20

complaint does not allege a basis for subject matter jurisdiction in this court. The federal courts

21

are courts of limited jurisdiction. In the absence of a basis for federal jurisdiction, plaintiff’s

22

claims cannot proceed in this venue. Because there is no basis for federal subject matter

23

jurisdiction evident in the complaint, plaintiff will be ordered to show cause why this action

24

should not be dismissed. Failure to allege a proper basis for subject matter jurisdiction will result

25

in a recommendation that the action be dismissed.

Accordingly, IT IS HEREBY ORDERED that no later than July 17, 2013, plaintiff shall

2

show cause why this action should not be dismissed for lack of subject matter jurisdiction.
