JOSEPH TRZECIAK, SR., Plaintiffs, v. NICHOLAS J. PADILLA, et al., Defendants.
OPINION AND ORDER
This matter is before the Court on document captioned "Criminal Complaint" (DE 1) filed by Joseph Trzeciak, Sr., a pro se prisoner, on June 8, 2015, in which he is attempting to bring unspecified criminal charges against 25 federal, Illinois, and Indiana prosecutors, law enforcement officers, and agencies which were involved in his federal and State criminal prosecutions. However, Trzeciak does not have the authority to initiate federal criminal charges against anyone. Only the United States Attorney General has such authority. See United States v. Palumbo Bros., Inc., 145 F.3d 850, 865 (7th Cir. 1988) ("[C]riminal prosecution is an executive function within the exclusive prerogative of the Attorney General.") (quotation marks and citation omitted).
For the reasons set forth above, the court DISMISSES this case as frivolous. DATED: June 10, 2015
