Case No. C06-0007L.

ORDER TO SHOW CAUSE
This matter comes before the Court sua sponte. On January 10, 2006, plaintiff, who is proceeding pro se, filed her complaint (Dkt. #3) against the "George Bush Administration" and against Seattle Central Community College.
Plaintiff alleges that unknown individuals monitored her classes at Seattle Central Community College, followed her, questioned her, and engaged in other wrongful conduct. She states that she is filing her complaint pursuant to the Patriot Act. Complaint at p. 12 ("I file a formal complaint against the Patriot Act"). The USA Patriot Act, which amended the International Emergency Economic Powers Act, 50 U.S.C. § 1701 et seq., does not include a private right of action. Furthermore, the Court was unable to locate any published authority stating that a private right of action exists under the USA Patriot Act.
Accordingly, plaintiff is ordered to SHOW CAUSE, within thirty days of the date of this order, why her complaint should not be dismissed for failure to state a claim. Failure to adequately respond may result in the dismissal of plaintiff's case without prejudice. The Clerk of the Court is directed to place this order to show cause on the Court's calendar for March 17, 2006.
