Pursuant to 28 U.S.C. § 1915(e), where a party seeks to proceed in forma pauperis,

the district court must dismiss the complaint if the court determines that the complaint is

frivolous or malicious, or that the party has failed to state a claim upon which relief can be

granted. See 28 U.S.C. §§ 1915(e)(2)(B)(i), (ii).

Here, Vila’s complaint falls within the category of pleadings identified in

§§ 1915(e)(2)(B)(i) and (ii). Vila, an individual who has named another individual and a

lending institution as defendants, alleges “all parties are U.S. Vessels and fit the legal

definition of a U.S. Vessel,” “[t]he cargo is shipped via U.S. Postal Service and all parties

are subject to the Postal Codes in this instant action,” and additional allegations of a similar

nature. Vila fails, however, to allege any facts that could state a claim under either state or

federal law. Further, and contrary to the title of Vila’s pleading, Vila fails to allege the

existence of an administrative decision, let alone a decision that a court has jurisdiction to

review.

Accordingly, the instant complaint is hereby DISMISSED, pursuant to 28 U.S.C.

§ 1915(e)(2)(B), and Vila’s application to proceed in forma pauperis is hereby DENIED as

moot.

The Clerk shall close the file.

IT IS SO ORDERED.
