GLASSER, Senior United States District Judge:

Plaintiffs Shawn Lindstrom and Doreen Lindstrom ("Plaintiffs") bring negligence and lossof-consortium claims related to a multi-vehicle automobile accident that occurred on Interstate 78

in February 2016. On January 31, 2018, the Court issued an order directing Plaintiffs to show
cause why this case should not be dismissed for lack of subject-matter jurisdiction, noting that
complete diversity is lacking and that federal-questionjurisdiction appeared not to exist. ECF No.
11. The order directed Plaintiffs to show cause within twenty-one days—i.e., on or before

February21,2018. On that date, rather than respond to the order to show cause, Plaintiffs instead

filed a letterrequesting that the action be transferred to the Middle Districtof Pennsylvania. ECF
No. 18. That request is denied, and this action is dismissed for lack ofsubject-matterjurisdiction.
