UNITED STATES DISTRICT COURT

FOR THE EASTERN DISTRICT OF CALIFORNIA

RAUL GONZALEZ,

Plaintiff,

v.

JUAN DOMINGUEZ,

Defendant.

No. 2:15-cv-1815 JAM CKD PS

FINDINGS AND RECOMMENDATIONS

Plaintiff is proceeding in this action pro se and in forma pauperis. In this action, plaintiff 

alleges claims for malpractice against his former workers compensation attorney. The complaint 

fails to set forth a basis for subject matter jurisdiction. 

By order filed September 2, 2015, plaintiff was ordered to show cause why this action 

should not be dismissed for lack of subject matter jurisdiction. Plaintiff has responded to the 

order to show cause. However, plaintiff’s response fails to set forth a proper basis for subject 

matter jurisdiction and makes readily apparent that plaintiff alleges only state law claims. There 

being no evident basis for subject matter jurisdiction, the court will recommend that this action be 

dismissed.

Accordingly, IT IS HEREBY RECOMMENDED that this action be dismissed for lack of 

subject matter jurisdiction.
