September 1, 2023 Opinion or Order Filing 18 EO: The court has reviewed the motion for leave to file an amended complaint. The motion is denied. The proposed amended complaint indicates that Plaintiff invokes this court's jurisdiction based on a federal question, but the court cannot discern any federal question or any other basis for federal jurisdiction. Indeed, while the court understands that Plaintiff feels aggrieved, the court continues to be unable to discern what specific actions by any person or entity have caused Plaintiff actionable harm. At this point, the court dismisses this action and directs the Clerk to enter judgment for Defendants and to close this case file. re #17 (JUDGE SUSAN OKI MOLLWAY)(cib)COURTS CERTIFICATE OF SERVICE - Non-Registered CM/ECF Participants have been served by First Class Mail to the addresses of record listed on the Notice of Electronic Filing (NEF).

August 31, 2023 Opinion or Order Filing 17 MOTION for Leave to File a reply - by Plaintiff Montell Alexander Bowman. (Attachments: #1 Mailing Envelope)(jni)
August 23, 2023 Opinion or Order Filing 16 ORDER DISMISSING COMPLAINT; ORDER GRANTING PLAINTIFF PERMISSION TO FILE A MOTION SEEKING LEAVE TO FILE AN ATTACHED "FIRST AMENDED COMPLAINT" re #1 - Signed by JUDGE SUSAN OKI MOLLWAY on 8/23/2023. The Complaint is dismissed. All pending deadlines, hearings, and conferences are vacated.The court grants Bowman leave to file a motion that seeks court permission to file a "First Amended Complaint" no later than September 22, 2023. Bowman must attach a draft of any proposed "First Amended Complaint" to any motion seeking such leave. The court provides some guidance to Bowman if he decides to file a First Amended Complaint. First, Bowman should title his new draft "First Amended Complaint." Bowman may, but neednot, use a court form from this courts website, available at https://www.hid.uscourts.gov/court-forms/civil (last visited August 22, 2023). The Clerk of Court is directed to provide to Bowman a copy of Form Pro Se 1 (Complaint in a Civil Case), but the court notes that other forms may be more applicable. If Bowman uses a court form, he may write the words "First Amended" before the word "Complaint." Second, Bowman should identify each Defendant and state in simple language what each Defendant allegedly did and what statute, law, or duty was supposedly breached by that Defendant. In other words, Bowman should allege facts with respect to what each Defendant allegedly did and what each Defendant should be held liable for. Any First Amended Complaint should contain enough factual detail for a person unfamiliar with the matter to understand why Bowman is suing each Defendant. Bowman may not simply refer to other court files or cases, and he may not incorporate anything by reference (including the original Complaint) in the First Amended Complaint. Instead, the First Amended Complaint must stand on its own in alleging the factual detail underlying the claims asserted in it. Third, Bowman should articulate the relief he is seeking. That is, if he is seeking monetary damages or prospective injunctive relief, he should say so clearly and identify the Defendant(s) from whom he is seeking such relief. Finally, a federal court may not exercise jurisdiction over a case unless (1) it raises a federal question, or (2) the parties are diverse and more than $75,000 is in issue. A complaint should contain enough information to allow this court to determine whether it has subject matter jurisdiction. To summarize, Bowman may file a motion seeking court permission to file a First Amended Complaint stating one or more viable claims no later than September 22, 2023. Bowman is free to opt not to file any such motion. If he fails to meet the deadline for such a motion, this action will be automatically dismissed without further court order. COURT'S CERTIFICATE OF SERVICE - Montell Alexander Bowman shall be served by First Class Mail to the addresses of record listed on the (NEF) on 8/24/2023. Additionally, a blank Complaint for a Civil Case form (Form Pro Se 1) shall be included in the mailing to Plaintiff.
