MEMORANDUM
AND ORDER

This matter is before the court on its own motion. On October 10, 2012, the
court conducted an initial review of Plaintiff’s Complaint. (Filing No. 6.) The court
determined that Plaintiff had failed to establish diversity of citizenship jurisdiction or
federal question jurisdiction as a basis of jurisdiction in this matter. On the court’s
own motion, it gave Plaintiff 30 days in which to amend her Complaint in order to
clearly set forth the basis for this court’s jurisdiction. (Id. at CM/ECF p. 3.)
Plaintiff filed an Amended Complaint on November 8, 2012. In her Amended
Complaint, Plaintiff merely expands on the allegations of her previous complaint, but
makes no attempt to set forth the basis for this court’s jurisdiction. (Filing No. 7.)
The court gave Plaintiff the opportunity to show that subject matter jurisdiction in this
court is proper, but Plaintiff has not done so. For this reason, and for the reasons set
forth in the court’s October 10, 2012, Memorandum and Order, this matter is
dismissed.
IT IS THEREFORE ORDERED that:
1.

This matter is dismissed without prejudice because this court lacks

subject matter jurisdiction.

2.

A separate judgment will be entered in accordance with this

Memorandum and Order.
DATED this 8 th day of January, 2013.
BY THE COURT:
Richard G. Kopf
Senior United States District Judge
