IN THE UNITED STATES DISTRICT COURT

FOR THE EASTERN DISTRICT OF ARKANSAS

NORTHERN DIVISION

MELISSA MOODY CROSS PLAINTIFF

v. CASE NO. 3:20-CV-00025 BSM

KATRINA CROSS, et al. DEFENDANTS

 

ORDER

Melissa Cross’s pro se complaint [Doc. No. 2] is dismissed sua sponte for failure to

state a claim upon which relief can be granted. See Fed. R. Civ. P. 12(b)(6). To meet the

12(b)(6) standard, a complaint must allege sufficient facts to entitle the plaintiff to the relief

sought. See Ashcroft v. Iqbal, 556 U.S. 662, 663 (2009). 

Cross’s complaint alleges simply “civil rights” and “corruption.” The tenet that all

allegations in a complaint must be accepted as true does not apply to legal conclusions. 

Ashcroft, 566 U.S. at 663. Accordingly, Cross’s complaint is dismissed without prejudice. 

Her motion to proceed in forma pauperis [Doc. No. 1] is denied.

IT IS SO ORDERED this 4th day of February 2020.
