No. 1:15-CV-286-JD

OPINION AND ORDER
Plaintiff Jesse Wayne Reid, Jr. filed a pro se complaint on October 2, 2015 as well as a
petition for leave to proceed in forma pauperis. [DE 1; DE 2]. In his complaint, Mr. Reid sued
nineteen defendants, including several high-ranking federal officials. He claims, inter alia, that
the “Navy Sea Systems Command in Washington D.C.” sent “a wireless signal via satellite in
real time to harass him electronically using synthetic technology because of law suits he filed
against the federal government.” [DE 1 at 2]. Mr. Reid has filed these allegations in numerous
other federal district courts. See, e.g., Reid v. Mabus, No. 2:15-CV-2165-PKH (W.D. Ark. Oct.
9, 2015); Reid v. Mabus, No. 1:15-CV-1537 (D.D.C. Sept. 21, 2015). The outlandish nature of
Mr. Reid’s claims and his numerous duplicative filings indicate that Mr. Reid’s complaint is
frivolous. See Reid v. Mabus, No. 2:15-CV-2165-PKH dkt. 4 (W.D. Ark. Oct. 9, 2015).
Accordingly, this matter is DISMISSED with prejudice pursuant to 28 U.S.C. 1915(e)(2)(B)(i)
and Mr. Reid’s petition to proceed in forma pauperis is DENIED as moot.
