(2) civil actions arising under the Constitution, laws, or

treaties of the United States; and (3) civil actions where

there is complete diversity of citizenship among the parties

and the amount in controversy exceeds $ 75,000, exclusive of

interest and costs. 28 U.S.C. § 1330 et seq.

Appellant has failed to address the issue of

jurisdiction in his complaint. Appellant will be given

until April 11, 2008 to demonstrate why this case should not

be dismissed for lack of subject matter jurisdiction or

remanded to state court.

IT IS SO ORDERED.
