Decided 2008-10-08

PER CURIAM: *

¶1 In her complaint, Lalaie Johnson, proceeding pro se and in forma pauperis, alleged, in essence, that she received negligent treatment by defendants-appellees while residing in the Whispering Pine Lodge nursing home. Because she cited no basis for federal jurisdiction, she was ordered to file an amended complaint to state that basis. She filed two amended complaints as a result, the last asserting racial bias in the state courts. The district court adopted the magistrate judge’s recommendation and dismissed this action for lack of subject-matter jurisdiction.

¶2 Proceeding pro se on appeal, Johnson fails to show subject-matter jurisdiction. Essentially for the reasons stated in the magistrate judge’s 15 May 2008 Report and Recommendation, the judgment of the district court is

¶3 AFFIRMED.

*

¶4 Pursuant to 5th Cir. R. 47.5, the court has determined that this opinion should not be published and is not precedent except under the limited circumstances set forth in 5th Cir. R. 47.5.4.
