TRACEY T. ISAAC.

U.S. COURT OF
FEDERAL CLAIMS

Plaintifl

THE UNITED STATES,
Defendant.

ORDER
On April 20,2016, plaintiff, proceeding pro se, filed a complaint seeking various forms
of relief. Additionally, plaintiff has filed a motion to proceed in forma pauperis. Plaintiff, a
prisoner incarcerated in Mississippi, seeks to have the race on his birth ceriificate changed from
"Negro" to "Moorish-American." Although plaintiff names the "Federal Ethics Committee" as
the defendant, the court cannot identifu any allegation that concems any United States official.

This Court's authority to hear cases is primarily defined by the Tucker Act, which grants
this Court subject matter jurisdiction over claims against the United States that are founded on a
money-mandating source of law and do not sound in tort. 28 U.S.C. $ 1a91(a)(1). Upon sata
sponte review, this Court finds plaintiffs allegations do not give rise to any cause ofaction over
which this Court has subjeclmatter jurisdiction. The Court has no authority to decide plaintiffs
case, and therelore must dismiss the complaint pursuant to Rule 12(h)(3) of the Rules of the
Court of Federal Claims.
In consideration of the above, the motion to proceed informa pauperis is GRANTED.
Furthermore, plaintiff s complaint is DISMISSED, pursuant to RCFC l2(hX3). The Clerk is
hereby directed to take the necessary steps to dismiss this matter.

IT IS SO ORDERED.

Senior Judge
