MEMORANDUM OPINION
This matter is before the Court on its initial review of plaintiffs prose complaint and
application for leave to proceed informapauperis. Pursuant to 28 U.S.C. § 1915(e), the Court is
required to dismiss a complaint upon a determination that it, among other grounds, is frivolous.
28 U.S.C. § 1915(e)(2)(B)(i).
Plaintiff, a resident of the District of Columbia, has submitted a wholly incomprehensible
complaint consisting of scribble. The only clear thing in the complaint is plaintiffs demand for
$199,999,999.00. Plaintiffs outlandish and baseless demand warrants dismissal ofthe
complaint under§ 1915(e)(2) as frivolous. See Neitzke v. Williams, 490 U.S. 319, 325 (1989);
Best v. Kelly, 39 F.3d 328, 330-31 (D.C. Cir. 1994). Furthermore, the complaint is so "patently
insubstantial" as to deprive the Court of subject matter jurisdiction. Tooley v. Napolitano, 586
F.3d 1006, 1010 (D.C. Cir. 2009); see Caldwell v. Kagan, 777 F. Supp. 2d 177, 178 (D.D.C.
2011) ("A district court lacks subject matter jurisdiction when the complaint 'is patently
(N)
insubstantial, presenting no federal question suitable for decision."') (quoting Tooley, 586 F.3d at
1009). A separate Order of dismissal accompanies this Memorandum Opinion.
