MEMORANDUM 0PINION

This matter comes before the court on review of p|aintiff's application to proceed in forma pauper/sand pro secivil complaint. The court will grant the application, and dismiss the complaint.

The court must dismiss a complaint if it is frivolous, malicious, or fails to state a claim upon which relief can be granted. 28 U.S.C. § 1915(E)(1)(B). In Ne/tz/504 U.S. 25, 33 (1992).

Plaintiff alleges that she has been "sta|ked by government helicopter and airplanes

for the past six years . . . to [her] places of work and housing." Compl. at 1. In addition, plaintiff she alleges that her employment and medical records have been deleted or otherwise falsified. .S`ee /0’. Although she has "submitted numerous complaints with the DC Superior Court . . . when [she] attempted to submit a case in Federal Court[,] a federal judged prevented [her] from doing so." 10'. Plaintiff does not demand any relief.

The court is mindful that complaints filed by pro selitigants are held to less stringent standards than those applied to formal pleadings drafted by lawyers. $ee Ha/'nes v. /(erner, 404 U.S. 519, 520 (1972). Having reviewed plaintiff's comp|aint, the court concludes that its factual contentions are baseless and wholly incredible. For this reason, the complaint is frivolous and must be dismissed. $ee 28 U.S.C. § 1915(e)(2)(B)(i).

An Order consistent with this Memorandum Opinion is issued separately.
