MEMORANDUM OPINION
This matter is before the Court on its initial review of plaintiff's pro se complaint and application for leave to proceed in forma pauperis. Pursuant to 28 U.S.C. § 1915(e), the Court is required to dismiss a complaint upon a determination that it, among other grounds, is frivolous. 28 U.S.C. § 1915(e)(2)(B)(i).
Plaintiff, a District of Columbia resident, sues the Federal Bureau of Investigation for allegedly failing "to protect a citizen from violation of the color of law done by a Judge Noel T. Johnson in D.C. Superior Court who is a conspiracy of silence to child abduction, frabricated [sic] evidence, violation of [constitutional rights] [and] deprivation of rights that others have and Tort." Complaint.
A complaint may be dismissed under 28 U.S.C. § 1915(e)(2) as frivolous when it describes fantastic or delusional scenarios, contains "fanciful factual allegation[s]," Neitzke v. Williams, 490 U.S. 319, 325 (1989), or lacks "an arguable basis in law and fact." Brandon v. District of Columbia Bd. of Parole, 734 F.2d 56, 59 (D.C. Cir. 1984). This complaint qualifies for such treatment. A separate Order of dismissal accompanies this Memorandum Opinion.
