STATEMENT
Plaintiff seeks to proceed in forma pauperis (“IFP”) in this suit against Facebook for “harassment,
(electronically), BRIBERY, invasion of privacy, intrusion and negligence” seeking $100,000,000 in damages.
The Court has the power to screen complaints filed by all litigants prior to service, regardless of their fee
status, and must dismiss a complaint if it is frivolous, fails to state a claim or the defendant is immune from
suit. See 28 U.S.C. § 1915(e)(2)(B). The complaint alleges that the
defendant continued to harass her to sign up for Facebook even after numerous attempts to
contact the CEO (Mark Zuckerburg) regarding such harassment and torment. Defendant’s
staff responded once or twice never via phone or written correspondence–instead via email and
never resolved the issue or provided an explanation for the continued harassment/stalking. As
a targeted individual Plaintiff cites specific violation relative to U.S. Law. As Plaintiff does
not have a Facbook page nor has she ever used or participated in or on the Social Networking
site–rather has found herself a target of confiscated writings from her own notes in a
collaborative and concerted effort to Gang-stalk and diminish mental capacity, destroy
credibility and completely deteriorate one of the most important assets that Plaintiff has–her
ability to generate income.
The Court denies plaintiff’s motion to proceed IFP and motion for appointment of counsel and
dismisses this suit as frivolous. See 28 U.S.C. § 1915(e)(2)(B)(i); Gladney v. Pendleton Corr. Facility, 302
F.3d 773, 774 (7th Cir. 2002) (stating that a case can be dismissed as frivolous without an evidentiary hearing
when “the facts alleged in the complaint are . . . [wholly] unbelievable”).
