Date Filed Document Text
April 11, 2025 Filing 10 EXHIBIT re #1 Complaint, by Marvin L. Nichols. (Kelsey, N)
April 10, 2025 Opinion or Order Filing 9 ORDER denying ECF No. #2 , Motion to Proceed In Forma Pauperis, and dismissing case. Under 28 U.S.C. 1915(e), courts are required to dismiss any action that is frivolous or that fails to state a claim upon which relief can be granted. After careful review of the complaint, the court cannot find a federal claim amongst the factual allegations. Plaintiff appears to assert state tort claims against the named defendants, so there is no federal question jurisdiction, and all the parties are citizens of Connecticut, so there also is no diversity jurisdiction. Accordingly, the defendant has failed to show that the federal court has jurisdiction over this matter, see Shenandoah v. Halbritter, 366 F.3d 89, 91 (2d Cir. 2004) ("A party seeking to invoke the subject matter jurisdiction of a Court has the burden of demonstrating that there is subject matter jurisdiction in the case."), and the court must dismiss this action for lack of jurisdiction. The motion to proceed in forma pauperis, ECF No. #2 , hereby is denied as moot. The Clerk of Court is asked, respectfully, to please close this case. It is so ordered. Signed by Judge Omar A. Williams on 4/10/24. (Wagner, R)
