ORDER DENYING PLAINTIFF’S
MOTION TO PROCEED IN
FORMA PAUPERIS AND
DISMISSING COMPLAINT

v.

11 FBI,

CASE NO. C13-5705 BHS

Defendant.

13
This matter comes before the Court on Plaintiff Shawn Daniel Habener’s

14

15 (“Habener”) motion to proceed in forma pauperis (Dkt. 1) and proposed complaint (Dkt.
16 1-1).
17

On August 19, 2013, Habener filed the instant motion and proposed complaint,

18 which are almost identical to Habener’s previous case. Compare Dkts. 1 & 1-1 with
19 C13-5561BHS, Dkts. 1 & 1–1. In the previous case, the Court dismissed the proposed
20 complaint because it was frivolous and had no arguable basis in law or fact. Id., Dkt. 3.
21 The instant complaint is even more frivolous. For example, Habener alleges that the FBI
22 is stealing his thoughts and selling them to the DEA for substantial profit. Therefore, the

ORDER - 1

1 Court DENIES Habener’s motion to proceed in forma pauperis and DISMISSES his
2 complaint.
3

IT IS SO ORDERED.
