ORDER DISMISSING CASE Signed by District Judge George Caram Steeh. (MBea)

UNITED STATES DISTRICT COURT
EASTERN DISTRICT OF MICHIGAN
SOUTHERN DIVISION
REV. NOLAN MCKENZIE,
Plaintiff,
Case No. 11-14574
v.
HON. GEORGE CARAM STEEH
SAINT JOSEPH MEDICAL CENTER,
Defendant.
___________________________________/
ORDER DISMISSING CASE
On November 8, 2011, after having reviewed plaintiff’s complaint, the court issued an
order to show cause as to why this case should not be dismissed for lack of personal
jurisdiction over defendant. The court noted that it is unclear how this court may exercise
personal jurisdiction over the defendant, a medical facility located in Kansas City, Missouri.
It also noted that it appears plaintiff is attempting to sue others, but those individuals are not
identified in the case heading and also do not appear to have contacts with Michigan
sufficient to provide personal jurisdiction. On November 17, 2011, plaintiff responded to the
order to show cause. However, the response fails to address the jurisdictional issue raised
in this court’s order to show cause. Accordingly,
IT IS HEREBY ORDERED that the case is DISMISSED.
