UNITED STATES DISTRICT COURT

EASTERN DISTRICT OF CALIFORNIA

On September 21, 2016, the Court issued an order to show cause why this case should not 

be dismissed due to a lack of subject matter jurisdiction. See Doc. No. 4. The Court explained 

that no federal question was apparent from the Complaint. See id. Plaintiff was given until 

October 11, 2016, in which to show a basis for subject matter jurisdiction. See id. The Court 

warned Plaintiff that either a failure to respond or an inadequate response would result in the 

dismissal of the Complaint and the closure of the case without further notice. See id. To date, 

Plaintiff has failed to respond. Therefore, the Court is left with no choice but to dismiss this case 

for want of subject matter jurisdiction. See Fed. R. Civ. P. 12(h)(3); Washington Envtl. Council v. 

Bellon, 732 F.3d 1131, 1138 (9th Cir. 2013).

Accordingly, IT IS HEREBY ORDERED that:

1. This case is DISMISSED due to a lack of subject matter jurisdiction; and

2. The Clerk shall CLOSE this case.

IT IS SO ORDERED.

Dated: November 17, 2016
