Annotate this Case
US Court of Appeals for the Sixth Circuit - 940 F.2d 660 (6th Cir. 1991) July 31, 1991

Before DAVID A. NELSONand SUHRHEINRICH, Circuit Judges, and HARVEY, Senior District Judge.* 

ORDER

John Richard Jones appeals a district court order dismissing his complaint for lack of subject matter jurisdiction. The case has been referred to a panel of the court pursuant to Rule 9(a), Rules of the Sixth Circuit. Upon consideration, the panel unanimously agrees that oral argument is not needed. Fed. R. App. P. 34(a).

Jones brought this action against his attorney for malpractice and breach of fiduciary duty. The district court dismissed the case for lack of subject matter jurisdiction. See 28 U.S.C. §§ 1331, 1332; Schlomann v. Ramsdell, 720 F.2d 20 (8th Cir. 1983).

On appeal, Jones argues that the dismissal was improper.

Upon consideration, we affirm the district court's order for the reasons the court stated in the opinion it entered on December 10, 1990. Rule 9(b) (3), Rules of the Sixth Circuit.
