UNITED STATES DISTRICT COURT

FOR THE EASTERN DISTRICT OF CALIFORNIA

JUNHO HYON,

Plaintiff,

v.

LAURA PAGEY, et al.,

Defendants.

No. 2:16-cv-2626 JAM CKD PS

ORDER AND

ORDER TO SHOW CAUSE

Plaintiff is proceeding in this action pro se. Plaintiff has requested authority pursuant to 

28 U.S.C. § 1915 to proceed in forma pauperis. This proceeding was referred to this court by 

Local Rule 302(c)(21).

Plaintiff has submitted the affidavit required by § 1915(a) showing that plaintiff is unable 

to prepay fees and costs or give security for them. Accordingly, the request to proceed in forma 

pauperis will be granted. 28 U.S.C. § 1915(a).

defendants. The complaint, however, does not allege a basis for subject matter jurisdiction in this

this action should not be dismissed. Failure to allege a proper basis for subject matter jurisdiction 

will result in a recommendation that the action be dismissed.

 Accordingly, IT IS HEREBY ORDERED that:

1. Plaintiff’s request to proceed in forma pauperis (ECF No. 2) is granted;

2. No later than November 23, 2016, plaintiff shall show cause why this action should 

not be dismissed for lack of subject matter jurisdiction.
