Civil Action No. 09-919.

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. § 1915A (requiring dismissal of a prisoner's complaint upon a determination that the complaint, among other grounds, is frivolous or fails to state a claim upon which relief can be granted).
Plaintiff, a Texas state prisoner, alleges that defendants are "subjecting [him] to the deprivation of his `liberty' in the collecting of a monetary debt in reparations under [the Constitution]." Compl. at 2. To the extent that plaintiff is challenging his sentence, he must pursue such a claim in the sentencing court. In any event, the vague allegation fails to state a claim upon which relief may be granted and is simply frivolous. See Brandon v. District of Columbia Bd. of Parole, 734 F.2d 56, 59 (D.C. Cir. 1984) (frivolous complaint lacks "an arguable basis in law and fact"). A separate Order of dismissal accompanies this Memorandum Opinion.
