Civil Action No. 08 1811.

MEMORANDUM OPINION
Plaintiff has filed a pro se complaint and an application to proceed in forma pauperis. His application will be granted, but his complaint will be dismissed as frivolous. 28 U.S.C. § 1915(e)(2)(B)(i).
The complaint is brief. It states that the plaintiff "is suing the formal District of Columbia Police for repossession of my mansion at 1600 Pennsylvania Avenue[,] Washington, D.C. I want everyone to leave the keys and vacate my premises. Thank you." (Compl. at 1.)
Where a plaintiff is proceeding in forma pauperis, a court is obligated to review the complaint and dismiss it if it is frivolous. This complaint presents the sort of "fantastic and delusional scenario" that warrants immediate dismissal, Neitzke v. Williams, 490 U.S. 319, 327 (1989), and will be dismissed as frivolous under 28 U.S.C. § 1915(e)(2)(B)(i).
