OPINION

GOETTEL, District Judge:

It is one of the sacred commandments of federal jurisprudence that the federal courts must protect their subject matter jurisdiction. Ordinarily, one of the parties is more than willing to point out a jurisdictional defect. But when, as here, the parties remain silent, it is the Court's duty to dismiss the action sua sponte if it lacks subject matter jurisdiction. Fed.R. Civ.P. 12(h).
