Defendants.

Case No. 2:15-cv-01716-APG-VCF

On September 11, 2015, Magistrate Judge Ferenbach entered a report and

11

recommendation (Dkt. #2) recommending I dismiss this complaint for lack of subject matter

12

jurisdiction because there is no federal question and the parties are not diverse. Plaintiff Joyce

13

Jones objects, arguing that (1) “[f]ederal [c]ourts can decide any case that considers federal law,”

14

(2) the defendants breached a contract with her, and (3) she files suit under a California statute.

15

(Dkt. #3.)

16

I conducted a de novo review of the issues set forth in the Report & Recommendation. 28

17

U.S.C. § 636(b)(1). Judge Ferenbach set forth the proper legal analysis and factual basis for the

18

decision.
