Opinion
Civil Action No. 12 0145
01-30-2012
Aretha Harris, Plaintiff, v. Patrick R. Donahoe, Postmaster General et al., Defendants.
MEMORANDUM OPINION
This matter is before the Court on its initial review of plaintiff's pro se complaint, which is accompanied by an application to proceed in forma pauperis. The Court will grant the application and will dismiss the case 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 sues the Postmaster General and the Postmaster in Waycross, Georgia, for the alleged mishandling of a certified letter she allegedly sent to Fingerhut Corporation pertaining to a bill. See Compl. at 1 & Attachments. The Court lacks subject matter jurisdiction over "[a]ny claim arising out of the loss, miscarriage, or negligent transmission of letters or postal matter." 28 U.S.C. § 2680(b). A separate Order of dismissal accompanies this Memorandum Opinion.
