ASHARF HAROUN; and SAAD HAROUN Plaintiffs, v. HANY HAROUN; CHRISTINE HAROUN; JJ CORPORATION OF THE FLORIDA KEYS; SOUTHEAST QUALITY FOODS, INC.; and DOES 1-100. Defendants
ORDER TO SHOW CAUSE RE:
JURISDICTION
The Court is in receipt of Plaintiffs Asharf Haroun and Saad Haroun's ("Plaintiffs") Complaint. The Court hereby orders Plaintiffs to show cause why this case should not be dismissed for lack of subject matter jurisdiction.
Federal courts are courts of limited jurisdiction, and the burden of establishing jurisdiction rests upon the party asserting jurisdiction. District courts have original jurisdiction over: (1) civil actions against foreign states; (2) civil actions arising under the Constitution, laws or treaties of the United States; and (3) civil actions where there is complete diversity of citizenship among the parties and the amount in controversy exceeds $75,000, exclusive of interest and costs. 28 U.S.C. §§ 1331-1334.
Plaintiffs have not proffered any reason as to why the Court has subject matter jurisdiction over this Action. Accordingly the Court hereby orders Plaintiffs to show cause within 10 days as to why this case should not be dismissed for lack of subject matter jurisdiction.
IT IS SO ORDERED.
HONORABLE RONALD S.W. LEW
Senior, U.S. District Court Judge
