ORDER
Plaintiffs, proceedingpro se, filed their complaint in this Court on July 17, 2018, along with an application to proceed in forma pauperis ("App. IFP"). Plaintiffs seek "relief from the comts to remove firearms and illegal mental state assault" in violation of two Maryland criminal statutes. Pl. 's Compl. at A-6; App. IFP at A-7. Because this Comt does not have jurisdiction over criminal matters, this case must be dismissed. See Joshua v. United States, 1994 U.S. App. LEXIS 3020 at *3 (Fed. Cir. 1994). The Clerk of the Comt is directed to DISMISS Plaintiffs' complaint for lack of subject matter jurisdiction. Plaintiffs' request to proceed in forma pauperis is moot and therefore DENIED.
IT IS SO ORDERED.
