Defendants.
______________________________________________________________________________
ORDER: (1) GRANTING PRO SE PLAINTIFF’S MOTION FOR LEAVE TO PROCEED
IN FORMA PAUPERIS (DOC. 1); (2) DISMISSING PRO SE PLAINTIFF’S COMPLAINT
(DOC. 1-2) AS FRIVOLOUS; (3) ORDERING THAT SERVICE OF PROCESS NOT
ISSUE; AND (4) TERMINATING THIS CASE ON THE COURT’S DOCKET
______________________________________________________________________________
This civil case is before the Court This civil case is before the Court on pro se Plaintiff’s
motion to proceed in forma pauperis (“IFP”) under 28 U.S.C. § 1915. Doc. 1. For good cause
shown, the undersigned GRANTS Plaintiff’s motion. Doc. 1. Because Plaintiff is proceeding
IFP, the Court is required to screen his complaint pursuant to 28 U.S.C. § 1915(e)(2) to determine
whether it is “frivolous or malicious or fails to state a claim upon which relief may be granted.”
Johnson v. City of Wakefield, 483 F. App’x 256, 260 (6th Cir. 2012); Brewer v. Cleveland Mun.
Sch. Dist., 84 F. App’x 570, 571 (6th Cir. 2003).
In his pro se complaint, Plaintiff alleges that the federal government “has surveillance on
[her] and her family” that has been ongoing “for 20 years.” Doc. 1-2 at PageID 7. Plaintiff further
claims that the government puts chemicals in her home, water, and food; urinates and excretes in
her home; and has caused her a number of personal injuries to her -- including causing pressure in
her head, her leg to break, and her teeth to fall out. Id. These allegations can aptly be characterized
as “describing fantastic or delusional scenarios”; thus, satisfying the definition of frivolousness.

of process not issue; and (3) this action be TERMINATED on the Court’s docket.
