Moon v. Henderson

Summary

The United States District Court for the District of Columbia grants the pro se plaintiff's application to proceed in forma pauperis but dismisses the complaint as frivolous under 28 U.S.C. § 1915(e)(2)(B)(i). The court concludes that the allegations lack an arguable basis in law or fact and involve fanciful events and circumstances.

Holdings

1. The court granted the plaintiff's application to proceed in forma pauperis.
2. A complaint lacking an arguable basis in law or fact, including one that postulates wholly fanciful events, is frivolous and subject to dismissal under 28 U.S.C. § 1915(e)(2)(B)(i). The plaintiff's complaint met that standard and was dismissed.

Questions Presented

1. Whether the plaintiff's complaint was frivolous and therefore subject to dismissal under 28 U.S.C. § 1915(e)(2)(B)(i).
2. Whether the plaintiff should be granted leave to proceed in forma pauperis.

Disposition

dismissed
