MEMORANDUM OPINION
Plaintiff files “this Class A Federal Human Rights [Diplomatic Immunity Business Enterprise Entrepreneur Buildings Builder Architect Contractor ... Workman Compensation Lawsuit” in order to collect $ 5 trillion in punitive damages from the House of Ruth.
Federal district courts have jurisdiction in civil actions arising under the Constitution, laws or treaties of the United States. See 28 U.S.C. § 1331. In addition, federal district courts have jurisdiction over civil actions where the matter in controversy exceeds $75,000, and the suit is between citizens of different states. See 28 U.S.C. § 1332(a). The complaint does not articulate a claim arising under the United States Constitution or federal law; there *89 fore, the plaintiff does not raise a federal question. Furthermore, because the plaintiff does not demonstrate that the parties are citizens of different states, the plaintiff also fails to establish diversity jurisdiction.
The Court will grant plaintiffs application to proceed in forma pauperis and dismiss the complaint for lack of subject matter jurisdiction. An Order is issued separately.
