Civil Action No. 25-0255 (UNA)

MEMORANDUM OPINION
Under the statute governing in forma pauperis proceedings, the Court is required to
dismiss a case “at any time” it determines that the action is frivolous, malicious, or fails to state a
claim upon which relief may be granted. 28 U.S.C. § 1915(e)(2). Suffice it to say that the
complaint is unintelligible, and for reasons that are unfathomable, plaintiff demands an
“injunction ordering the [B]iden administration to recognice [sic] mousen aden as the []Raymond
Roman or Nurro of Rome. Kaiser.” Compl. at 5.
Because the complaint falls far short of stating a viable claim, it is subject to dismissal.
See McGuire v. U.S. District Court, No. 10-cv-0696, 2010 WL 1855858, at *1 (D.D.C. May 4,
2010) (summarily dismissing complaint under § 1915(e)(2) because it was “largely incoherent
and nonsensical”); cf. Neitzke v. Williams, 490 U.S. 319, 325 (1989) (“[A] complaint, containing
. . . factual allegations and legal conclusions . . . lack[ing] an arguable basis either in law or in
fact” shall be dismissed.).

1

Because Mousen Yisak Aden signed the complaint, see Compl. at 6, the Court deems Mr. Aden
the sole plaintiff in this case.

The Court will grant plaintiff’s application to proceed in forma pauperis and dismiss the
complaint without prejudice. A separate order will issue.
