JAMES CURTIS BEACHUM, II, Plaintiff, v. STATE OF MICHIGAN, et al., Defendants.


Honorable Victoria A. Roberts


OPINION AND ORDER GRANTING IFP AND

SUMMARILY DISMISSING COMPLAINT

Plaintiff filed his Complaint against the State of Michigan, the Michigan Attorney General and the United States Attorney General. While the Court grants him in forma pauperis status, it dismisses his Complaint.

Pursuant to 28 U.S.C. § 1915(e)(2)(B), the Court must dismiss any action filed in forma pauperis that is factually frivolous, malicious, fails to state a claim upon which relief may be granted, or seeks monetary relief against a defendant who is immune from suit. Factual frivolousness includes allegations that are "clearly baseless," "fantastic," or "delusional." See Neitzke v. Williams, 490 U.S. 319, 327-28, 109 S. Ct. 1827, 1833 (1989). Plaintiff's complaint is frivolous under Section 1915(e), as it is both fantastic and delusional.

Accordingly, Plaintiff's complaint is DISMISSED.

IT IS ORDERED.
