Vranich v. United States

In the United States Court of Federal Claims JESSICA VRANICH, Plaintiff, No. 25-cv-0684 v. (Filed: October 15, 2025) THE UNITED STATES, Defendant.

ORDER OF DISMISSAL On April 23, 2025, Plaintiff, Jessica L. Vranich (“Ms. Vranich”), an incarcerated pro se litigant, filed a Complaint seeking relief for “deprivation of [her] rights under the color of law” based on the alleged failure of the Butte County District Attorney’s Office and state judicial officials to investigate reports of sexual assault and child abuse by the father of Ms. Vranich’s child. See Compl. ECF No. 1, at p. 1, 4–6. Having reviewed Ms. Vranich’s filings1 and the relevant law, the Court hereby DISMISSES Ms. Vranich’s Complaint for failure to prosecute under Rule 41(b).

In June, the Court denied Ms. Vranich’s request to proceed in forma pauperis and explained that the Court of Federal Claims lacked jurisdiction over her claims against state and judicial officials. See Order at 2, ECF No. 6. The Court provided Ms. Vranich the opportunity to supplement her Motion to Proceed in forma pauperis, see ECF No. 2, on or before June 30, 2025, but noted that should she choose not to pursue litigation, the case would be dismissed without prejudice. Ms. Vranich has not submitted any additional filings in this case.

For the reasons set forth above, the Court hereby DISMISSES Plaintiff’s Complaint, ECF No. 1, without prejudice for failure to prosecute under Rule 41(b). The Clerk of Court shall enter JUDGMENT accordingly.

IT IS SO ORDERED.

ROBIN M. MERIWEATHER Judge This Order is based on the following filings: Compl., ECF No.1; In Forma Pauperis Application, ECF No. 2.
