Accordingly, the request to proceed in forma pauperis will be denied

without prejudice.

Further, in reviewing the one-page, handwritten complaint

plaintiff has submitted for filing, it is apparent that plaintiff is

attempting to sue two individuals regarding breach of “a verbal

contract when we buy the house” located in Fairfield, California. 

Such a breach of contract claim is more properly pursued in state

court. Plaintiff’s complaint does not indicate any basis for federal

jurisdicton.

Accordingly, IT IS HEREBY ORDERED that:

1. Plaintiff's application for leave to proceed in forma

pauperis is denied without prejudice to submitting an amended

application. The Clerk of the Court is directed to send plaintiff a

new application to proceed without prepayment of fees and affidavit.

If plaintiff wishes to pursue this action, he shall properly complete

and file an amended in forma pauperis application and attachment all

institutional account statements, or pay the statutory filing fee of

$250.00, within thirty (30) days of the date that this order is

filed;

2. Plaintiff shall show cause in writing within thirty

(30) days of the date that this order is filed why this matter should

not be dismissed for lack of subject matter jurisdiction. See Fed.

R. Civ. P. 12(h)(3); and
