WO

IN THE UNITED STATES DISTRICT COURT

FOR THE DISTRICT OF ARIZONA

Jennifer Ann Gray,

Plaintiff,

v. 

Donald J Trump, et al.,

Defendants.

No. CV-20-00079-TUC-DCB

ORDER 

On February 24, 2020, the Plaintiff filed a Complaint (Doc. 1) and an Application 

to Proceed Without Prepayment of Fees and Costs (Doc. 2.) On February 26, 2020, she 

filed an Amended Complaint (Doc. 6). In both she sues Defendants Donald Trump, 

Christopher Wray, Michael Pompeo, individually and in their official capacities, and the 

State Department, and the Federal Bureau of Investigations. She alleges that the 

Defendants have targeted her as an accomplice to a scheme orchestrated by Hillary Clinton, 

Joe Biden, Hunter Biden, and other unknown persons. The Defendants have allegedly 

ignored her constitutional rights by conducting unlawful wiretaps, surveillance, instructed 

judges to rule against her, and instructed the State Bar of Arizona not to assist her, etc.

Pursuant to 28 U.S.C. § 1915(e)(2)(B)(i), the Court must dismiss a case proceeding 

in forma pauperis if the Court determines that the action or complaint is “frivolous or 

malicious.” Frivolousness exists if the plaintiff would not be entitled to relief under any 

arguable construction of law or fact. Neitzke v. Williams, 490 U.S. 319, 325 (1989).

Dismissal under § 1915(e) is justified for legal frivolousness where a complaint is 

based on "an indisputably meritless legal theory...[such as] claims against which it is clear 

that the defendants are immune from suit, and claims of infringement of a legal interest 

which clearly does not exist...." Id. at 327.When evaluating claims under this standard, the 

Court “is not bound, as it usually is when making a determination based solely on the 

pleadings, to accept without question the truth of the [P]laintiff’s allegations.” Denton v. 

Hernandez, 504 U.S. 25, 32 (1992).

Here, the Court dismisses the action as factually frivolous. “[A] court may dismiss 

a claim as factually frivolous only if the facts alleged are ‘clearly baseless,’ a category 

encompassing allegations that are ‘fanciful,’ ‘fantastic,’ and ‘delusional.’” Id. at 32-33 

(citations omitted). “[A] finding of factual frivolousness is appropriate when the facts 

alleged rise to the level of the irrational or the wholly incredible.” Id. at 33. Plaintiff 

provides no facts to support her claims of a widespread conspiracy among the President, 

the Director of the FBI, or other federal agencies to deprive her of her constitutional rights. 

Her First Amended Complaint and this action are dismissed without leave to amend.

The Court finds that the Plaintiff is not indigent. Her parents are paying her 

$1,300.00 mortgage which alone amounts to $15,600 a year in support. She reports that 

they also pay for her food and utilities. The U.S Poverty Guidelines for 2020 for a single 

person is $12,760 a year and income eligibility for food stamps in Arizona is 130% of the 

poverty guideline or $1,354. She exceeds both of these indigency benchmarks.

Accordingly,

IT IS ORDERED that the Application to Proceed Without Prepayment of Costs 

and Fees (Doc. 2) is DENIED.
