complaint on May 23, 2014.

On July 7, 2014, the Court screened said

complaint for legal and factual sufficiency and determined Plaintiffs’
Complaint failed to comply with Federal Rules of Civil Procedure.
Plaintiffs indicate jurisdiction is based on alleged violations of the
Fair Housing Authority Act.

Further, Plaintiffs allege that this

court has jurisdiction under “28 U.S.C. Washington State.”

It is not

clear if Defendant Spokane Neighborhood Action Partners is a Public

23

Housing Unit or whether Riverwalk Apartments is the true unnamed

24

Defendant in the unintelligible complaint filed by Plaintiffs.

25

The Court is mindful that the Plaintiffs are proceeding pro se

26

and that their submissions should be held to less stringent standards

27

than formal pleadings drafted by lawyers.

28

ORDER OF DISMISSAL – 1

However, the Plaintiffs’

1

claim(s) fail under Fed.R.Civ.Pro., Rule 8(a).

2

has not been shown and Plaintiffs’ alleged cause of action is neither

3

apparent nor set forth with sufficient clarity to permit this matter

4

to go forward.

Federal jurisdiction

IT IS HEREBY ORDERED: Plaintiffs’ action is DISMISSED without

prejudice.
