Appeal from the United States District Court
for the Western District of Texas
USDC No. 3:07-CV-00217
Before JOLLY, DENNIS, and PRADO, Circuit Judges.
PER CURIAM:*
Rebeca Perez, pro se, is seeking a subpoena to obtain a police report under
the Texas Public Information Act that was withheld from her pursuant to Texas
Government Code section 552.108(a)(2). We have reviewed the briefs and the
applicable law. Perez presents no valid argument as to how a federal court has
subject matter jurisdiction over her claim. She does not allege diversity

jurisdiction, nor does she allege her action arises under any applicable federal
law as a basis for federal question jurisdiction. See, e.g., Kokkonen v. Guardian
Life Ins. Co. of Am., 511 U.S. 375, 377 (1994). Perez is challenging the Texas
Attorney General’s application of Texas state law, which, as currently alleged,
is a pure state law claim. We therefore agree with the district court’s conclusion
that we have no subject-matter jurisdiction over this case. The summary
judgment is AFFIRMED for the reasons given by the district court in its opinion.
