Opinion

Civil Action No. 11 0959.

May 24, 2011


MEMORANDUM OPINION


This matter is before the Court on its review of the plaintiff's pro se complaint and application to proceed in forma pauperis. The application will be granted and the complaint will be dismissed for lack of subject matter jurisdiction. See Fed.R.Civ.P. 12(h)(3) (requiring dismissal of an action "at any time" the Court determines that it lacks subject matter jurisdiction).

Plaintiff, a resident of Hyattsville, Maryland, sues federal district courts in Maryland and Texas and the United States Congress. She challenges on constitutional grounds a presumed order of the United States District Court for the District of Maryland transferring her to "a federal prison, FMC, Carswell, in Ft. Worth Texas" for a mental health evaluation, even though she has not been convicted of a crime. Compl. at 2-4. Presumably, plaintiff has sued Congress for enacting the alleged constitutional statutes authorizing the court's action. Plaintiff seeks injunctive relief and $50,000 "for the illegal transfer and detainment and torture." Id. at 5. This Court lacks jurisdiction to review the orders of another district court. See 28 U.S.C. §§ 1331, 1332 (general jurisdictional provisions); Fleming v. United States, 847 F. Supp. 170, 172 (D.D.C. 1994), cert. denied 513 U.S. 1150 (1995). A separate Order of dismissal accompanies this Memorandum Opinion.
