Daniel K. Schmidt v. Richard Rodrigues

U.S. Court of Appeals for the Eleventh Circuit
Daniel K. Schmidt v. Richard Rodrigues, 574 F. App'x 928 (11th Cir. 2014)

Daniel K. Schmidt v. Richard Rodrigues

Opinion

PER CURIAM:

Daniel K. Schmidt, a Florida prisoner proceeding pro se, appeals the district court’s sua sponte pre-service dismissal of Schmidt’s civil rights and Racketeer Influenced and Corrupt Organizations Act complaint under the screening provision of 28 U.S.C. § 1915A. We agree the wholly frivolous complaint failed to state any federal claim upon which relief can be granted and affirm for the reasons stated in the district court’s order, No. 5:13-cv-00406-RS-GRJ, 2014 WL 51364 (N.D.Fla. Jan.7, 2014), adopting the Report and Recommendation of the magistrate judge. Because there are no viable federal claims and the parties are not diverse, the district court properly dismissed the state-law claims for lack of subject matter jurisdiction.

AFFIRMED.
