Civil Action No. 12 0945

Tira Misu, Plaintiff, v. United States District Judge Robert Wilkins et al., Defendants.
MEMORANDUM OPINION
This matter is before the Court on review of plaintiff's pro se complaint and application to proceed in forma pauperis. The application will be granted and the complaint will be dismissed pursuant to 28 U.S.C. § 1915(e)(2)(B) (requiring dismissal of a complaint upon a determination that the complaint is frivolous, fails to state a claim upon which relief may be granted, or seeks monetary damages from an immune defendant).
Plaintiff sues District Judge Robert Wilkins presumably of this Court and "all judges state & federal" for $10 million. Compl. Caption. She purports to sue defendants for treason but has stated no facts. A complaint is subject to dismissal as frivolous when, as here, it 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). In addition, dismissal is warranted because judges are absolutely immune from lawsuits based on their official acts. Forrester v. White, 484 U.S. 219, 225 (1988); Stump v. Sparkman, 435 U.S. 349, 355-57 (1978); Sindram v. Suda, 986 F.2d 1459, 1460 (D.C. Cir. 1993). A separate Order of dismissal accompanies this Memorandum Opinion.
