MIDDLEBURG HTS.–BEREA BUILDING DEPT., Defendant. ) ) ) ) ) ) ) ) ) ) CASE NO. 1:13 CV 1678 JUDGE DAVID D. DOWD, JR. MEMORANDUM OPINION AND ORDER On August 2, 2013, pro se plaintiff Israel Rondon, filed this action against the Middleburg Heights – Berea Building Department. While the Complaint is unclear, Plaintiff appears to assert that Defendant intimidated and coerced him into executing a commercial contract, to wit: “a 1 year BMV License Plates Contract.” (Compl. at 2.) Principles requiring generous construction of pro se pleadings are not without limits. Beaudett v. City of Hampton, 775 F.2d 1274, 1277 (4th Cir. 1985). Even given the most liberal construction, the Complaint does not contain allegations remotely suggesting Plaintiff might have a valid federal claim, or even that there is a reasonable basis for this Court’s jurisdiction. This case is therefore appropriately subject to summary dismissal. Apple v. Glenn, 183 F.3d 477 (6th Cir. 1999); see, Hagans v. Lavine, 415 U.S. 528, 536-37 (1974) (citing numerous Supreme Dockets.Justia.com (1:13 CV 1678) Court cases for the proposition that attenuated or unsubstantial claims divest the district court of jurisdiction); see also, In re Bendectin Litig., 857 F.2d 290, 300 (6th Cir. 1988) (recognizing that federal question jurisdiction is divested by unsubstantial claims). Accordingly, this action is dismissed. IT IS SO ORDERED. October 15, 2013 Date s/David D. Dowd, Jr. David D. Dowd, Jr. U.S. District Judge -2-
