MEMORANDUM OPINION
This matter is before the Court on its initial review of plaintiff's pro se complaint and application to proceed in forma pauperis. The application will be granted and the case will be dismissed pursuant to 28 U.S.C. § 1915(e)(2)(B)(ii). Under that statute, the Court is required to dismiss a case "at any time" it determines that the complaint fails to state a claim upon which relief can be granted.
Plaintiff, a District of Columbia resident, sues the city of Philadelphia, Pennsylvania. A native of Mali, plaintiff alleges that he arrived in the United States in June 2002, but "unfortunately in the last three years [he] [has] been [the] victim of many cases of violence in Florida, Pennsylvania and now in Washington, D.C. . . . ." Compl. at 2. Plaintiff has alleged various misdeeds, none of which implicates the named defendant in any wrongdoing. Therefore, the complaint will be dismissed. A separate Order of dismissal accompanies this Memorandum Opinion.
