Opinion

UNITED STATES DISTRICT COURT FOR THE DISTRICT OF COLUMBIA

MOUSEN YISAK ADEN, ) ) Plaintiff,1 ) ) v. ) Civil Action No. 25-0255 (UNA) ) UNITED STATES OF AMERICA, ) ) Defendant. )

MEMORANDUM OPINION

Under the statute governing in forma pauperis proceedings, the Court is required to

dismiss a case “at any time” it determines that the action is frivolous, malicious, or fails to state a

claim upon which relief may be granted. 28 U.S.C. § 1915(e)(2). Suffice it to say that the

complaint is unintelligible, and for reasons that are unfathomable, plaintiff demands an

“injunction ordering the [B]iden administration to recognice [sic] mousen aden as the []Raymond

Roman or Nurro of Rome. Kaiser.” Compl. at 5.

Because the complaint falls far short of stating a viable claim, it is subject to dismissal.

See McGuire v. U.S. District Court, No. 10-cv-0696, 2010 WL 1855858, at *1 (D.D.C. May 4,

2010) (summarily dismissing complaint under § 1915(e)(2) because it was “largely incoherent

and nonsensical”); cf. Neitzke v. Williams, 490 U.S. 319, 325 (1989) (“[A] complaint, containing

. . . factual allegations and legal conclusions . . . lack[ing] an arguable basis either in law or in

fact” shall be dismissed.).

1 Because Mousen Yisak Aden signed the complaint, see Compl. at 6, the Court deems Mr. Aden the sole plaintiff in this case. The Court will grant plaintiff’s application to proceed in forma pauperis and dismiss the

complaint without prejudice. A separate order will issue.
