This Court has an obligation to determine its jurisdiction to hear a particular case. The
Court has reviewed the Complaint in this case and finds that the Complaint has not stated or
provided a basis for this Court's jurisdiction in this case. The Complaint references trespass
without establishing how this alleged trespass would establish federal jurisdiction.
The Plaintiff has filed a Motion to Amend his Complaint [13]. The Court has reviewed
this Motion and finds that the attached Amended Complaint also does not establish a basis for this
Court’s jurisdiction. The Court further finds that granting a further motion to amend the Complaint
would be futile as Plaintiff has not set forth an intelligible basis for this Court to have jurisdiction.
Indeed, in Plaintiff’s filing for a Motion for Relief [14], a reference is made to a claim being filed
and not a complaint as required by law.
For the reasons stated above,
IT IS ORDERED that this case is DISMISSED, and Plaintiff's Motion to Amend [13] is
DENIED. All other pending motions or request for relief are DENIED as moot.
