Cross v. Cross

Opinion

IN THE UNITED STATES DISTRICT COURT FOR THE EASTERN DISTRICT OF ARKANSAS NORTHERN DIVISION MELISSA MOODY CROSS PLAINTIFF

v. CASE NO. 3:20-CV-00025 BSM KATRINA CROSS, et al. DEFENDANTS

ORDER Melissa Cross’s pro se complaint [Doc. No. 2] is dismissed sua sponte for failure to state a claim upon which relief can be granted. See Fed. R. Civ. P. 12(b)(6). To meet the 12(b)(6) standard, a complaint must allege sufficient facts to entitle the plaintiff to the relief sought. See Ashcroft v. Iqbal, 556 U.S. 662, 663 (2009). Cross’s complaint alleges simply “civil rights” and “corruption.” The tenet that all allegations in a complaint must be accepted as true does not apply to legal conclusions. Ashcroft, 566 U.S. at 663. Accordingly, Cross’s complaint is dismissed without prejudice. Her motion to proceed in forma pauperis [Doc. No. 1] is denied. IT IS SO ORDERED this 4th day of February 2020.
