Plaintiff,
v. Civil Action No. CAROL P. JOHNSON, t Defendant. M\EMORANDUM OPINION Plaintiff, a New Jersey resident, purports to bring a breach of contract action against his mother, also a New Jersey resident, arising from defendant’s failure to produce authentic documents with which plaintiff could obtain a United States passport. He demands "that the Defendant be held accountable for her action to the lilllest extent under the law," plus damages of $3 million. Compl. at 5. j l j 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. § l332(a). This complaint neither states a
federal claim nor establishes diversity of citizenship of the parties. Accordingly, the Court will
dismiss this action for lack of subject matter jurisdiction.
