STEPHEN SHEFFIELD, Plaintiff, v. UNITED STATES CRACK COCAINE FAIR SENTENCING ACT, ETC., ALL DEFENDANTS, Defendants.
MEMORANDUM OPINION
This matter is before the Court on consideration of the plaintiff's application to proceed in forma pauperis and her pro se complaint. The application will be granted, and the complaint will be dismissed.
Plaintiff, who is serving a four-year sentence of imprisonment imposed by the Superior Court of the District of Columbia on his conviction of possession of crack cocaine, seeks a reduction in the sentence. The Court has no authority to review a Superior Court judge's ruling, see Fleming v. United States, 847 F. Supp. 170, 172 (D.D.C. 1994), aff'd, 1994 WL 474995 (D.C. Cir. 1994), cert. denied, 513 U.S. 1150 (1995), and the Court will dismiss this action for lack of subject matter jurisdiction.
An Order is issued separately.
