ORDER OF DISMISSAL
Before the Court is Plaintiff’s Complaint, contained within the Complaint is an “affidavit
of poverty,” which the Court generously construes as application to proceed in forma pauperis.
The Court assumes that Plaintiff’s financial information is as represented in his most recently filed
application to proceed in forma pauperis (ECF No. 4 in D. Me. Docket # 1:14-cv-416-GZS).
Therefore, the Application to Proceed In Forma Pauperis (ECF No. 2) is hereby GRANTED.
Upon the Court’s review of the Complaint, the Court concludes this case must be DISMISSED in
accordance with 28 U.S.C. § 1915(e)(2).
To the extent that the handwritten Complaint contains any discernable allegations, it
appears that Plaintiff is attempting to bring a Bivens action against the United States of America.
Attached to the Complaint are three letters Plaintiff apparently received from the President in
response to his letters. Based on these attachments, the Court concludes that Plaintiff believes he
has a claim related to firearms and/or ISIL. In short, the Complaint simply fails to allege any facts
that give rise to a plausible claim of against the named defendant. Rather, the Complaint is
apparently frivolous. Thus, the Court concludes the present Complaint fails to state a claim and
must be DISMISSED. Additionally, the Court certifies that any appeal from this Order would not
be taken in good faith pursuant to 28 U.S.C. § 1915(a)(3).
SO ORDERED.
/s/ George Z. Singal
United States District Judge
Dated this 24th day of November, 2014.
