The plaintiff has filed a pro se complaint and an application to proceed in forma pauperis. The Court will grant the application to proceed in forma pauperis and dismiss the complaint.

The complaint alleges that the defendant allows "Federal Prisoners [to] run the whole Apt Complex[]" where the plaintiff lives. Compl. at l. lt alleges that the prisoners bring her "look- alike" to the Complex and that the look-alike enters the plaintiffs apartment when the plaintiff is not present. Id. lt also alleges that two prisoners "have there [sic] house arrest machines, illegally hooked up to my electric and have been for over 4‘/2 years. They both threaten to rope and whatever else to me to my face, and the Rental Office laughs about it." Id. This complaint presents the sort of "fantastic or delusional scenarios" that warrant dismissal of an action as frivolous. Nez'tzke v. Wz`llz`ams, 490 U.S. 319, 328 (1989). Accordingly, this complaint will be dismissed under 28 U.S.C. § l9l5(e)(2)(B)(i) (requiring dismissal of frivolous complaints that

are filed by plaintiffs proceeding in forma pauperis). A separate order accompanies this
