MEMORANDUM ORDER
This Court's February 27, 2017 memorandum order ("Order") announced the sua sponte dismissal of this action brought by Frank McGhee ("McGhee") and Ashley Lombardo because of a lack of federal subject matter jurisdiction over their claims. Whether prompted by a continued lack of understanding of the fundamental reason for that dismissal or, perhaps, by his regret over having paid a $400 filing fee for his mistaken effort, McGhee has filed a motion for extension of time (Dkt. No. 7) because, as stated in that motion:
2. We need time to find representation from an attorney that will refile this
civil complaint. 3. We fully understand we do not have the knowledge and lawyer's skills its
[sic] going to take to file this ingest [sic] against us. May 30-days be granted to find representation.
But the same absence of subject matter jurisdiction that prompted issuance of the Order bars consideration of McGhee's current Dkt. No. 7 motion, which is therefore denied out of hand. Indeed, lest McGhee consider the expenditure of further funds to challenge the original dismissal
Case: 1:17-cv-01435 Document #: 9 Filed: 04/05/17 Page 2 of 2 PageID #:24 of this action, he should understand that that 30 day timetable allowed for such an appeal has already run out.
