MEMORANDUM OPINION
This action brought pro se is before the Court on review of Plaintiff’s form complaint and
application for leave to proceed in forma pauperis. For the following reasons, the Court grants the
application and dismisses the complaint.
Plaintiff, a resident of Greenwood, Delaware, sues the Delaware State Police Federal Credit
Union in Georgetown, Delaware. Allegedly, from 1998-2001, Plaintiff’s salary was “paid at the
Department of Elections in Georgetown DE.” Compl., ECF No. 1 at 4. But in 2001, “the Delaware
State Police removed” Plaintiff’s “paycheck involuntarily with demands, gun violence, rape, and
property destruction” and has “possessed” the paycheck since 2001. Id. Plaintiff states “[w]hen I
attempted to recover my check in 2001, at their bank, with the State Representative and the State
Senator, we were all shot and killed and our bodies were raped. None of us were paid.” Id. The
Relief section of the Complaint consists of unrelated ramblings but circles back to the theme
concluding: “The paycheck that I am issued by the USA is $250,000 annually. I have been unable
to possess it since the Delaware State Federal Credit Union has taken from the Department of
Elections in 2001.” Id.

Complaints, as here, lacking “an arguable basis either in law or in fact,” Neitzke v. Williams,
490 U.S. 319, 325 (1989), and “postulating events and circumstances of a wholly fanciful kind,”
Crisafi v. Holland, 655 F.2d 1305, 1307-08 (D.C. Cir. 1981), are frivolous actions subject to
dismissal under 28 U.S.C. § 1915(e)(2)(B)(i). Therefore, this case will be dismissed by separate
order.
