PER CURIAM:*
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

2008 Report and Recommendation, the judgment of the district court is
AFFIRMED.
