Dawson v. Shenandoah Retreat Land Corporation

United States Court of Appeals, Fourth Circuit
Mar 31, 1970
422 F.2d 402 (4th Cir. 1970)

Opinion

No. 13946.

March 31, 1970.

Appeal from the United States District Court for the Eastern District of Virginia, at Alexandria; Oren R. Lewis, Judge.

Roger R. Dawson, pro se.

Griffin T. Garnett, Jr., Arlington, Va., and Peter J. Kostik, Arlington, Va., on the brief, for appellees.

Before HAYNSWORTH, Chief Judge, and SOBELOFF and BUTZNER, Circuit Judges.


In this appeal we find oral argument unnecessary and affirm the order of the district court dismissing the appellants' complaint for failure to allege any basis for federal jurisdiction. Clearly there is no diversity jurisdiction, and to the extent that the complaint attempts to invoke subject matter jurisdiction, it is insufficient to state a claim on which relief can be granted.

Affirmed.
