UNITED STATES DISTRICT COURT

FOR THE EASTERN DISTRICT OF CALIFORNIA

JOE ANN DURONCELET, et al.,

Plaintiffs,

v.

BARAK OBAMA, et al.,

Defendants.

No. 2:14-cv-1768 JAM CKD PS

ORDER TO SHOW CAUSE

Plaintiffs are proceeding in this action pro se. Plaintiffs have filed a forty-one page 

complaint that is vague and ambiguous as to what claims plaintiffs are making. The complaint

does not allege a basis for subject matter jurisdiction in this court. The federal courts are courts 

of limited jurisdiction. In the absence of a basis for federal jurisdiction, plaintiffs’ claims cannot 

proceed in this venue. Because there is no basis for federal subject matter jurisdiction evident in 

the complaint, plaintiffs will be ordered to show cause why this action should not be dismissed. 

Failure to allege a proper basis for subject matter jurisdiction will result in a recommendation that 

the action be dismissed.
