United States District Court

Northern District of California

UNITED STATES DISTRICT COURT

NORTHERN DISTRICT OF CALIFORNIA

JEFFRIE WRIGHT,

Plaintiff,

v.

SONOMA PACIFIC, INC.,

Defendant.

Case No. 16-cv-01102-SI 

ORDER TO SHOW CAUSE RE: 

SUBJECT MATTER JURISDICTION

The parties do not agree as to whether the Court has diversity jurisdiction over this dispute 

pursuant to 28 U.S.C. § 1332. See Dkt. Nos. 25, 27. Federal Rule of Civil Procedure 12(h)(3) 

provides that “[i]f the court determines at any time that it lacks subject-matter jurisdiction, the 

court must dismiss the action.” The Court has asked the parties more than once to demonstrate a 

basis for the Court’s jurisdiction. The parties’ latest statement suggested that this issue would be 

resolved by November 4, 2016. Dkt. No. 27 at 1. The parties have missed both self-imposed and 

Court-imposed deadlines on this issue. 

The Court hereby ORDERS plaintiff to show cause, in writing to be filed no later than 

November 30, 2016, why this action should not be dismissed for lack of jurisdiction.

IT IS SO ORDERED.

Dated: November 17, 2016
