UNITED STATES DISTRICT COURT FOR THE DISTRICT OF COLUMBIA
MAY CHEN, ) ) Plaintiff, ) ) v. ) Civil Action No. 24-03106 (UNA) ) ) DISTRICT OF COLUMBIA et al., ) ) Defendants. )
MEMORANDUM OPINION
Pro se Plaintiff May Chen, a District of Columbia resident, sues the District of Columbia,
Maryland, and California for Negligence. Compl., ECF No. 1 at 1. The Complaint, to the extent
intelligible, accuses Defendants of violating “court rules, federal law” and federal regulations
“referenced” in Plaintiff’s multiple lawsuits, id. at 5, allegedly filed between November 2021 and
October 2024, id. at 4. Plaintiff demands “$5900000000000000000000 USD and prosecution
against Defendants.” Id.
Plaintiff’s negligence complaint is captioned appropriately as brought under the diversity
statute, 28 U.S.C. § 1332, but the states and the District of Columbia “are not subject to diversity
jurisdiction.” Long v. District of Columbia, 820 F.2d 409, 412-13 (D.C. Cir. 1987). Consequently,
this case will be dismissed by separate order. See Fed. R. Civ. P. 12(h)(3) (requiring dismissal of
the action “if the court determines at any time that it lacks subject-matter jurisdiction”).
