Court

on

document

captioned

“Criminal Complaint” (DE 1) filed by Joseph Trzeciak, Sr., a pro se
prisoner, on June 8, 2015, in which he is attempting to bring
unspecified criminal charges against 25 federal, Illinois, and
Indiana prosecutors, law enforcement officers, and agencies which
were involved in his federal and State criminal prosecutions.
However, Trzeciak does not have the authority to initiate federal
criminal charges against anyone. Only the United States Attorney
General has such authority. See United States v. Palumbo Bros.,
Inc., 145 F.3d 850, 865 (7th Cir. 1988) (“[C]riminal prosecution is
an executive function within the exclusive prerogative of the
Attorney General.”) (quotation marks and citation omitted).
For the reasons set forth above, the court DISMISSES this case
as frivolous.

DATED: June 10, 2015

United State District Court
