DARIO CAMPOS VILLAR,

Plaintiff,

v.

MICHAEL TIPSOR, et al.,

Defendants.

Case No. 16-cv-00816-MEJ 

ORDER TO SHOW CAUSE

Plaintiff Dario Campos Villar filed this case on February 18, 2016, seeking damages 

related to a car accident that occurred on November 10, 2015. He bring claims for “Insurance Bad 

Faith, Personal Injury, Negle[c]t, Elder Abused, Damages, Intentional Tort, Plot, Discrimination, 

[and] Intentional Plot.” Compl. at 1, Dkt. No. 1. To the extent Plaintiff brings actionable claims, 

they are based in state tort law. Further, he brings his claims against several named defendants 

that appear to be residents of California. As such, it appears that jurisdiction is lacking and any 

claims Plaintiff may have are properly raised in state court. 

Accordingly, the Court hereby ORDERS Plaintiff Dario Campos Villar to show cause why 

this case should not be dismissed for lack of subject matter jurisdiction. There are two bases for 

federal subject matter jurisdiction: (1) federal question jurisdiction under 28 U.S.C. § 1331 and (2) 

diversity jurisdiction under 28 U.S.C. § 1332. Pursuant to the federal question jurisdiction statute, 

district courts have original jurisdiction over all civil actions arising under the Constitution, laws, 

or treaties of the United States. 28 U.S.C. § 1331. For diversity jurisdiction pursuant to 28 U.S.C. 

§ 1332, each plaintiff must be diverse from each defendant, and the amount in controversy must 

exceed $75,000.

Plaintiff shall file a declaration by March 3, 2016. If a responsive declaration is filed, the

responsive declaration is filed. Thus, it is imperative that the Court receive a written response by 

the deadline above.

IT IS SO ORDERED.
