HALL v. DEPARTMENT OF HOMELAND SECURITY et al Doc. 10 UNITED STATES DISTRICT COURT FOR THE DISTRICT OF COLUMBIA STEVEN H. HALL, Plaintiff, v. Civil Action No. 16-1471 (JEB) DEPARTMENT OF HOMELAND SECURITY, et al., Defendants. MEMORANDUM OPINION On August 18, 2016, the Court issued a Minute Order acceding to pro se Plaintiff Steven Hall’s request that all Defendants except Rosemary Dettling be dismissed without prejudice. Given the resulting posture, the Minute Order also ordered Hall to show cause why subjectmatter jurisdiction still exists over any claim he has against Dettling. Hall has responded with a pleading entitled “Filing Motions Requesting That Portions of this Case is Remanded Back to MSPB and Forward Portions to DC State Court.” ECF No. 8. The Court infers that he realizes there is no federal subject-matter jurisdiction and is thus electing to proceed either administratively or in District of Columbia Superior Court. He does not need the Court’s permission to pursue his case in these other fora, but the Court offers no opinion about his ability to do so. In any event, given that he does not offer any ground for jurisdiction here and at least impliedly agrees that none exists, the Court will issue a contemporaneous Order dismissing the case without prejudice. 1 Dockets.Justia.com /s/ James E.
