No. CV 10-1496-PHX-FJM

ORDER

The court has been presented with an “Application for Temporary Restraining Order

and Application for Temporary Injunction” (doc. 4). However, a review of the “Complaint

and an Action to Quiet Title” (doc.1) indicates that this court is without subject matter

jurisdiction. Although plaintiff alleges diversity jurisdiction, he also alleges that citizens of

Arizona are on both sides of the case. And although plaintiff alleges federal question

jurisdiction, no federal claim is presented. Plaintiff’s complaint appears to arise under

Arizona law, in which case, jurisdiction would exist in the superior court of Arizona.

Accordingly, it is ORDERED DENYING plaintiff’s Application for Temporary

Restraining Order and Application for Temporary Injunction (doc. 4). It is further

ORDERED DISMISSING the complaint for lack of subject matter jurisdiction. 

We encourage plaintiff to seek the advice of a lawyer. If he does not have one, he

may wish to contact the Lawyer Referral Service of the Maricopa County Bar Association
