Levai v. Law
Citation: 235 F. App'x 684Docket: No. 06-16108
Court: Court of Appeals for the Ninth Circuit; August 24, 2007; Federal Appellate Court
Mary Pokrajac Levai's appeal from the district court's judgment, which dismissed her action for lack of subject matter jurisdiction, has been reviewed and affirmed. The district court's dismissal was proper as Levai's complaint did not provide a valid basis for federal subject matter jurisdiction, which is the burden of the party asserting it. Levai's references to 18 U.S.C. 241, 245, and 247 were deemed ineffective, as these criminal statutes do not allow for civil liability. Additionally, her claims under 28 U.S.C. 1334(a) and 28 U.S.C. 158 were rejected because her case did not pertain to bankruptcy matters or involve an appeal from a bankruptcy court decision. The court found Levai's remaining arguments unconvincing and denied her pending motions. The disposition is non-precedential and not suitable for publication per 9th Cir. R. 36-3.
