November 27, 2021 TEXT ORDER terminating #1 Application to Proceed in District Court without Prepaying Fees or Costs, in light of the Text Recommendation of dismissal entered this date. Issued by MAG/JUDGE L. PATRICK AULD on 11/27/2021. (AULD, L.)
November 27, 2021 TEXT RECOMMENDATION that the Court dismiss this action as frivolous under 28 U.S.C. s 1915(e)(2)(B), in light of the obvious lack of subject matter jurisdiction. According to #2 Complaint, Plaintiff has purported to invoke federal question jurisdiction; however, as the basis for that invocation, #2 Complaint states only, "[b]ased on North Carolina state statute, [i]t is illegal to issue consumers APR rates of 24% [but] mine is 30%." An alleged violation of a state statute does not create a federal question. Moreover, nothing in the "Statement of Claim" or "Relief" portions of #2 Complaint identifies any federal question. Finally, although #3 Civil Cover Sheet reflects a check-mark beside "Truth in Lending" within the "Nature of Suit" subsection, nothing in #2 Complaint provides any basis to conclude that Plaintiff actually has attempted to state a claim under that federal statute (or could do so). "Federal jurisdiction may not be premised on the mere citation of federal statutes." Weller v. Department of Soc. Servs., 901 F.2d 387, 391 (4th Cir. 1990). Issued by MAG/JUDGE L. PATRICK AULD on 11/27/2021. (AULD, L.)
