UNITED STATES DISTRICT COURT

FOR THE EASTERN DISTRICT OF CALIFORNIA

LIUDMYLA IEGOROVA,

Plaintiff,

v.

FAIRWOOD APARTMENT,

Defendant.

No. 2:15-cv-1651 MCE CKD PS

ORDER AND 

ORDER TO SHOW CAUSE

Plaintiff is proceeding in this action pro se. Plaintiff has requested authority pursuant to 

28 U.S.C. § 1915 to proceed in forma pauperis. This proceeding was referred to this court by 

Local Rule 302(c)(21).

Plaintiff has submitted the affidavit required by § 1915(a) showing that plaintiff is unable 

to prepay fees and costs or give security for them. Accordingly, the request to proceed in forma 

pauperis will be granted. 28 U.S.C. § 1915(a).

The federal in forma pauperis statute authorizes federal courts to dismiss a case if the 

action is legally “frivolous or malicious,” fails to state a claim upon which relief may be granted, 

or seeks monetary relief from a defendant who is immune from such relief. 28 U.S.C. 

§ 1915(e)(2). 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, plaintiff’s claims cannot proceed in this venue. Because there is no basis for federal

subject matter jurisdiction evident in the complaint, plaintiff 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.

 Accordingly, IT IS HEREBY ORDERED that:

1. Plaintiff’s request to proceed in forma pauperis (ECF No. 2) is granted; and

2. No later than September 1, 2015, plaintiff shall show cause why this action should not 

be dismissed for lack of subject matter jurisdiction.
