Proceedings: IN CHAMBERS- ORDER TO SHOW CAUSE RE: STANDING AND STATE LAW CLAIMS

Pro se Plaintiff Sharon M. Parson filed the Amended Complaint on August October 8, 2021 asserting the following causes of action against “Named, Unamed [sic] and Unknown” defendants: (1) Ecoterrorism under

; (2) Agroterrorism under

; (3) “Street Terrorism” under

(a); (4) “Tortious Interference With Prospective Economic Advantage”; (5) “Tortious Interference with Potential Economic Relationship”; (6) Unfair Competition under

; and (7) Unfair Competition under

. The Amended Complaint also references a writ of mandate and “Ministerial Duty” under

(a). A private citizen lacks standing to assert a claim under Cal. Penal Code§ 186.22(a). See Linda R.S. v. Richard D.,

, (1973) (holding a district court was correct in dismissing a complaint for lack of standing because “a private citizen lacks a judicially cognizable interest in the prosecution or nonprosecution of another”). Moreover, the Amended Complaint does not allege any facts regarding jurisdiction. This Court must have subject-matter jurisdiction over this action based on federal question (28 U.S.C.§ 1331) or diversity jurisdiction (

).

provides: “The district courts shall have original jurisdiction of all civil actions arising under the Constitution, laws, or treaties of the United States.” Diversity jurisdiction “requires ‘complete diversity’ of citizenship, meaning that ‘the citizenship of each plaintiff is diverse from the citizenship of each defendant.’” Demarest v. HSBC Bank USA, N.A.,

(9th Cir. 2019) (quoting Caterpillar Inc. v. Lewis,

(1996)). Furthermore, the district court may decline to exercise supplemental jurisdiction over state law claims where the court has dismissed all claims over which it has original jurisdiction.

. Here, the only federal claim alleged in the Amended Complaint is based on alleged violation of

. However, there is no private right of action under

. See Ceballos v. GMAC Mortg., LLC, No.

Furthermore, the Amended Complaint fails to name any defendants or allege facts demonstrating complete diversity of citizenship.

.

Accordingly, Plaintiff is ORDERED TO SHOW CAUSE, in writing, no later than November 5, 2021, why Plaintiff’s claim for “Street Terrorism” under

(a) and Unfair Competition claim under

should not be dismissed for lack of standing, why the Court should not decline to exercise supplemental jurisdiction over Plaintiff’s state law claims.

IT IS SO ORDERED.
