No. 2:16-cv-1000 TLN CKD PS

v.

ORDER TO SHOW CAUSE

BUCKINGHAM PROPERTY
MANAGEMENT, et al.,
Defendants.

Plaintiffs are proceeding in this action pro se. In the initial complaint, plaintiffs alleged

18
19

only state law claims and alleged diversity as the basis of subject matter jurisdiction. Because the

20

parties are not diverse, plaintiffs were ordered to show cause why the action should not be

21

dismissed for lack of subject matter jurisdiction. In response, plaintiffs filed an amended

22

complaint in which plaintiffs allege that defendants have engaged in unauthorized electronic

23

surveillance in violation of 18 U.S.C. § 2510 (Wiretap Act). A private right of action is conferred

24

under that Act. 18 U.S.C. §§ 2511(1)(a), 2520.
