IN THE UNITED STATES DISTRICT COURT
FOR THE SOUTHERN DISTRICT OF OHIO
EASTERN DIVISION
NANCY L. SCOTT,
Plaintiff,
v.

Civil Action 2:17-cv-615
Judge Michael H. Watson
Magistrate Judge Jolson

WALNUT GROVE HEALTH AND
REHABILITATION CENTER, et al.,
Defendant.
REPORT AND RECOMMENDATION
Plaintiff, proceeding pro se, filed this wrongful death action under Ohio law on July 14,
2017. (Doc 1). From the face of the Complaint, it appears that there is no basis for subject
matter jurisdiction in this Court. (See Doc. 1 at 2). The Court thus gave Plaintiff an opportunity
on July 19, 2017, to show good cause within fourteen days why this action should not be
dismissed for lack of subject matter jurisdiction. (Doc. 3). Plaintiff failed to respond and the
deadline has passed.
Accordingly, it is RECOMMENDED that this action be DISMISSED for lack of
subject matter jurisdiction.
IT IS SO ORDERED.

Date: August 7, 2017
