HICHAM JORIO,

Plaintiff,

v.

MOHAMED BENMANSOUR,

Defendant.

Case No.15-cv-00063-NC 

REFERRAL FOR REASSIGMENT 

TO DISTRICT COURT WITH 

RECOMMENDATION TO DISMISS 

PLAINTIFF’S COMPLAINT 

WITHOUT PREJUDICE

Re: Dkt. Nos. 21, 22

In this contractual dispute arising from defendant Benmansour’s alleged failure to 

transfer shares of Safariclick, SA, plaintiff Jorio moved for default judgment under Federal 

Rule of Civil Procedure 55(b)(2). Dkt. No. 21. In his motion, Jorio requested that the 

Court enter judgment in his favor in the amount of $2,450,000 plus interest, cost of suit, 

and attorney’s fees. Id. In response, on August 15, 2015 the Court ordered Jorio to show 

cause why the action should not be dismissed due to lack of subject matter jurisdiction and 

lack of personal jurisdiction over Benmansour. Dkt. No. 22. The Order gave Jorio 14 

days to file an amended complaint and a renewed motion for default judgment curing the 

subject matter and personal jurisdiction deficiencies, which Jorio did not do. Id.

Benmansour has not consented to this Court’s jurisdiction. Pursuant to 28 U.S.C. § 

636(c), this Court issues this Report and Recommendation, and requests reassignment of 

this case to a district judge. The Court RECOMMENDS DISMISSING Jorio’s complaint
