WILLIAM LEE GRANT II, Plaintiff, v, JAMES MATTIS, Defendant.
MEMORANDUM OPINION
"[A] complaint, containing as it does both factual allegations and legal conclusions, is frivolous where it lacks an arguable basis either in law or in fact." Neitzke v. Williams, 490 U.S. 319, 325 (1989); see Brandon v. District of Columbia Bd. of Parole, 734 F.2d 56, 59 (D.C. Cir. 1984). A complaint lacks an arguable basis in fact when "the facts alleged are clearly baseless, a category encompassing allegations that are fanciful, fantastic, and delusional." Denton v. Hernandez, 504 U.S. 25, 33 (1992). Based on its review of the instant complaint, titled "Game of Titans Complaint," and the allegations set forth therein, the Court deems the instant complaint subject to dismissal as frivolous.
The Court will grant plaintiff's application to proceed in forma pauperis and will dismiss the complaint as frivolous pursuant to 28 U.S.C. § 1915(e)(2)(B)(i). An Order consistent with this Memorandum Opinion is issued separately. DATE: January 8, 2019
