Fed. R. Civ. P. 12(h)(3).

IN THE UNITED STATES DISTRICT COURT

EASTERN DISTRICT OF ARKANSAS

WESTERN DIVISION

KEITH A. OLIVER PLAINTIFF

VS. 3:07CV00060-WRW

SIGNS SYSTEMS, et al DEFENDANTS

ORDER

Pending is Plaintiff’s Motion to Proceed In Forma Pauperis (Doc. No. 1). 

A question of subject-matter jurisdiction may be raised sua sponte at any time.1

“Whenever it appears . . . that the court lacks jurisdiction of the subject matter, the court shall

dismiss the action.”2

Plaintiff, an Arkansas resident, alleges that he suffered injuries from an accident that

occurred while he was working for Defendant Sign Systems in Jonesboro, Arkansas. 

For want of diversity of citizenship, this Court lacks subject matter jurisdiction.

Accordingly, Plaintiff’s Motion to Proceed In Forma Pauperis is DENIED. This case is

DISMISSED for lack of jurisdiction. 

IT IS SO ORDERED this 29th day of May, 2007.
