"TEXT ORDER: Pursuant to 28 U.S.C. 1915, the Court has reviewed Plaintiff&#039;s Complaint #1 and his Motion for IFP status #2 . The federal court lacks subject matter jurisdiction. The Complaint lists &quot;diversity&quot; as the basis for jurisdiction (ECF No. #1 at 4) and states that the amount in controversy is $36,000 (Id. at 5). For this Court to have diversity jurisdiction pursuant to 28 U.S.C. 1332, the amount in controversy must exceed $75,000. Because this Court does not have subject matter jurisdiction over this matter, the Court must dismiss it. Plaintiff&#039;s Motion for IFP status #2 is DENIED as moot. An action of this type would have to be brought in state court - So Ordered by District Judge John J. McConnell, Jr. on 2/14/2019. (Urizandi, Nisshy) "
