Before the Court is the plaintiff's pro se complaint and application to proceed in forma pauperis. The application will be granted and the complaint will be dismissed.

The plaintiff further alleges requests that the defendants stop contacting his girlfriend and forcing her to have sex with other men. Id.
A complaint such as this one that describes fantastic or delusional scenarios is subject to immediate dismissal. See Neitzke v. Williams, 490 U.S. 319, 328 (1989); Best v. Kelly, 39 F.3d 328, 330-31 (D.C. Cir. 1994). Moreover, a complaint may be dismissed as frivolous when 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). Accordingly, this complaint will be dismissed.
A separate appropriate order accompanies this memorandum opinion.
