ORDER DISMISSING CASE WITH

LEAVE TO AMEND

On April 28, 2006, plaintiff, proceeding pro se, filed the instant action, which was

reassigned to the undersigned on June 8, 2006. Before the Court is plaintiff’s application to

proceed in forma pauperis, filed April 28, 2006.

Plaintiff’s complaint, which appears to seek damages for injuries suffered when

plaintiff slipped and fell from a U-Haul truck, contains no allegations suggesting that there is

federal jurisdiction over her lawsuit. Plaintiff does not allege that defendants violated any

federal law, see 28 U.S.C. § 1331, or that plaintiff and each of the defendants are citizens

of different states and that the amount in controversy exceeds $75,000, see 28 U.S.C.

§ 1332(a).

Accordingly, the instant action is hereby DISMISSED for lack of subject matter

jurisdiction, with leave to amend. If plaintiff wishes to pursue the instant action in federal

court, she shall file an amended complaint, no later than July 14, 2006, setting forth the

basis for federal jurisdiction over the action. If plaintiff does so, the Court will address her

motion to proceed in forma pauperis at that time. If plaintiff fails to do so, the instant action

will be dismissed without prejudice to plaintiff’s refiling the action in state court.

IT IS SO ORDERED.
