Plaintiff,
v.
FINDINGS AND RECOMMENDATIONS
FRANK PENNY LAW FIRM, et al.,
Defendants.
16
17
In this action, plaintiff, proceeding pro se and in forma pauperis, complains
18
about monies that were used from the settlement of a civil action arising out of an auto accident.
19
The complaint, however, does not allege a basis for subject matter jurisdiction in this court.
20
Plaintiff was accordingly ordered to show cause why this action should not be dismissed for lack
21
of subject matter jurisdiction.
22
Plaintiff has not filed a response to the order to show cause. There appears to be no
23
federal question subject matter jurisdiction. Diversity jurisdiction is also lacking because the
24
parties are not diverse.
25
26
Accordingly, IT IS HEREBY RECOMMENDED that this action be dismissed for lack of
subject matter jurisdiction.
27
These findings and recommendations are submitted to the United States District Judge
28
assigned to the case, pursuant to the provisions of 28 U.S.C. § 636(b)(l). Within fourteen days
1
1
after being served with these findings and recommendations, any party may file written
2
objections with the court and serve a copy on all parties. Such a document should be captioned
3
“Objections to Magistrate Judge’s Findings and Recommendations.” Failure to file objections
4
within the specified time may waive the right to appeal the District Court’s order. Martinez v.
