Appeal from the United States District Court for the Southern District of Texas USDC No. 6:24-CV-41 ______________________________

Before Davis, Wilson, and Douglas, Circuit Judges. Per Curiam: * Wendy Renee Venglar, proceeding pro se, appeals the district court’s dismissal without prejudice of her civil action for lack of subject-matter jurisdiction. We review this dismissal de novo. Khalil v. Hazuda, 833 F.3d 463, 466 (5th Cir. 2016). As the party asserting jurisdiction, Venglar had the burden to prove that jurisdiction existed. See Ramming v. United States, 281

No. 25-40299

F.3d 158, 161 (5th Cir. 2001). She has failed to show any basis for federal subject-matter jurisdiction regarding her complaint. See 28 U.S.C. §§ 1331, 1332; Arbaugh v. Y&H Corp., 546 U.S. 500, 513 (2006). Although she contends that the district court should have transferred her complaint to state court pursuant to 28 U.S.C. § 1404(a), she has not shown that § 1404(a) authorizes such a transfer. See Pope v. Atl. Coast Line R. Co., 345 U.S. 379, 384 (1953). The district court’s judgment is AFFIRMED.
