Kajy v. Fannie Mae et al

Filing 17

ORDER Dismissing 12 Order to Show Cause. Signed by District Judge David M. Lawson. (DTof)

UNITED STATES DISTRICT COURT
EASTERN DISTRICT OF MICHIGAN
SOUTHERN DIVISION
ANISS Y. KAJY,
Plaintiff,
Case No. 12-12655
Honorable David M. Lawson

v.
FANNIE MAE, WELLS FARGO BANK, N.A., and
TROTT & TROTT, P.C.,
Defendants.
______________________________________________/

ORDER DISMISSING ORDER TO SHOW CAUSE
On June 29, 2012, the Court entered an order requiring the plaintiff to show cause why the
complaint should not be dismissed with respect to defendant Trott & Trott, P.C., and requiring the
defendants to show cause why the case should not be remanded for a lack of diversity jurisdiction.
On July 6, 2012, the defendants filed responses to the Court’s order to show cause. In their
responses, the defendants noted that the plaintiff’s complaint contained a claim under the Fair Debt
Collection Practices Act. 15 U.S.C. § 1692. Therefore, the Court has subject matter jurisdiction
over the plaintiff’s complaint based on the existence of a federal question. 28 U.S.C. § 1331. On
the same date, the plaintiff filed a response to the order to show cause, arguing that the complaint
presents colorable claims against defendant Trott & Trott, P.C.. The parties’ arguments on this issue
will be addressed along with the motion to dismiss filed by defendants Fannie Mae and Wells Fargo
Bank, N.A. Because the parties have provided responses that assure the Court of its subject matter
jurisdiction over this action, the order to show cause is satisfied.

Accordingly, it is ORDERED that the Court’s order to show cause [dkt. #12] is
DISMISSED.
