MEMORANDUM OPINION
The plaintiff has filed an application to proceed without prepayment of fees and a pro se
complaint. The application will be granted and the complaint will be dismissed.
In his complaint, the plaintiff states that since his employment as a summer clerk in 2004
at the U.S. Department of State, he has been "consistently stalked by various helicopters, mainly
Arrny (Grey) and Police helicopter." Compl. at l. When he contacted the Federal Aviation
Administration, he was "told to take pictures of it." Ia’. Immediately thereafter the plaintiffs’
camera was "found missing from [his] Bank of America safety box[.]" The plaintiff states that
"whoever has been stalking me using helicopters have [sic] made it difficult for me to live my
life the way I desire[.]" Id
The complaint appears to be based on the sort of "fantastic or delusional scenarios" that
warrant summary dismissal. Neitzke v. Williams, 490 U.S. 319, 327-28 (1989) (determining that
courts have the "unusual power to pierce the veil of the complaint’s factual allegations and
dismiss those claims whose factual contentions are clearly baseless"). Thus, the complaint will
be dismissed under 28 U.S.C. § l9l S(e)(Z)(B)(i) (requiring dismissal of frivolous complaints).
