ORDER

In her answer (doc. no. 13), defendant Teresa 

Spence states: “I move to dismiss this case because the 

plaintiff’s complaint fails to state a claim upon which 

relief can be granted. Rule 12(b). This claim should 

also be dismissed because the federal court has no 

jurisdiction in this matter.”

Accordingly, it is ORDERED as follows:

(1) Defendant Teresa Spence’s answer (doc. no. 13) 

is treated as a motion to dismiss the plaintiff’s

complaint, as amended.

(2) As to defendant Spence, the plaintiff is to 

show cause, if any there be, in writing by December 16, 

2015, as to why his complaint, as amended, should not 

be dismissed as set forth in the magistrate judge’s 

recommendation (doc. no. 86), that is, the federal 

claims should be dismissed on the merits and the state 

claims should be dismissed with leave to refile in 

state court.

DONE, this the 2nd day of December, 2015.
