Taifusin Chiu v. Donald Trump

Summary

The court grants plaintiff Taifusin Chiu’s application to proceed in forma pauperis. The magistrate judge finds that the complaint is unintelligible, lacks a basis for federal jurisdiction and any cognizable legal claim, and recommends dismissal of all claims as frivolous under 28 U.S.C. § 1915(e)(2). The findings and recommendations advise plaintiff that objections must be filed within 21 days.

Holdings

1. The application to proceed in forma pauperis should be granted because plaintiff submitted the affidavit required by 28 U.S.C. § 1915(a)(1).
2. The complaint should be dismissed because it alleged no discernible basis for federal jurisdiction, no cognizable cause of action, and no plausible supporting facts, rendering it frivolous and insufficient to state a claim.
3. Leave to amend should be denied because amendment would be futile in light of the complaint's lack of any intelligible factual or legal claim.

Questions Presented

1. Whether the plaintiff qualified to proceed in forma pauperis under 28 U.S.C. § 1915(a)(1).
2. Whether the complaint was frivolous or failed to state a plausible claim under 28 U.S.C. § 1915(e)(2).
3. Whether the plaintiff should be granted leave to amend the complaint.
