U.S. COURT OF
FEDERAL CLAIMS

Plaintifi

THE I.JNITED STATES,
Delbndant.

ORDER

on May 3, 2018, plaintiff chanel 'furner, proceedingpro se, filed a complaint with this
court, which appears to seek an "infinite protective order" against individuals in the Armed
Forces for perpetraring a plethora ofacts against plaintiff. Additionally, plaintiffhas
filed a
motion to proceed in forma pauperis. Plaintiff s complaint asks the Coun of Federal Clarms
to
"look into [her] case," among other requests pertaining to her allegations including asking this

court to "issue the highest level of protection.',

This-court's authority to. hear cases is primarily set forth by the Tucker Act, which grants
thc Court ofFederal Claims subject-matter jurisdiction over claims brought
againsithe United
states that arc grounded on a money-mandating source of law and do noi sound
in tort. 2g
u.s.c. $ 1a9l(a)(1). Rule l2(h)(3) olthe Rulei of the court of Federal claims states that,,[i]f
thc courl determines at any time that it lacks subject-matter jurisdiction, the
court must dismrss
thcaction" RCFC l2(hX3). lJpon sua sponte review, this court finds that plaintiffs allegations
are tortious in nature and thereforc do not give rise 10 any cause ofaction
foi which this coun
has subject-matter jurisdicrion. This courf has no authoiity to decide plainrifls
case, and
thereibre must dismiss the complaint pursuant to RCFC f ilfr;1:;.

hereby directcd to take the necessary steps to aismiss this maner.
