IN THE UNITED STATES DISTRICT COURT

EASTERN DIVISION OF ARKANSAS

WESTERN DIVISION

JHAKOBY JENNINGS PLAINTIFF

VS. 4:16-cv-00178-BRW

JACKSONVILLE POLICE DEPARTMENT DEFENDANT

ORDER

A district court has the authority to dismiss a case sua sponte for failure to state a claim.1

Plaintiff’s complaint, in its entirety, reads:

The Judge paid TP to shoot me in my arm and they have been arresting me on

terroristic threatening charges and they are putting charges on me I did not commit.

Because Plaintiff’s complaint is nonsensical and fails to state a cause of action against Defendant

for which relief may be granted, this case is DISMISSED. Plaintiff’s motion for leave to

proceed in forma pauperis (Doc. No. 1) is DENIED as MOOT.

 IT IS SO ORDERED this 5th day of April, 2016.

 /s/ Billy Roy Wilson
