MEMORANDUM OPINION 
Plaintiff, appearing pro se , has filed a form complaint and an application to proceed in 
forma pauperis (IFP). For the following reasons, the c ourt grants the IFP motion and dismisses 
the complaint. 
 Plaintiff, a resident of Silver Spring, Maryland, sues the United States for $4 trillion. In 
the statement of claim section, Plaintiff writes only “written documents while present as a citizen 
of the United States of America; I need to be better; I need to be whole.” Compl., ECF No. 1 at 4. 
His baffling Notice, ECF No. 4, is unilluminating. Complaints, as here, lacking “an arguable basis 
either in law or in fact,” Neitzke v. Williams, 490 U.S. 319, 325 (1989), are frivolous actions subject 
to dismissal under 28 U.S.C. § 1915(e)(2)(B)(i). Therefore, this case will be dismissed by separate 
order.
