Grimesv.Bonner
UNITED STATES DISTRICT COURT MIDDLE DISTRICT OF FLORIDA ORLANDO DIVISIONJun 5, 2019
Case No: 6:19-cv-1026-Orl-41TBS
JEROME L. GRIMES, Plaintiff, v. M. R. BONNER, FLORIDA HIGHWAY PATROL and STATE OF FLORIDA, Defendants.
Federal courts may allow an individual to proceed in forma pauperis if that person declares in an affidavit that he "is unable to pay [filing] fees or give security therefor." 28 U.S.C. § 1915(a)(1). Before determining whether a plaintiff qualifies to proceed in forma pauperis, the Court, pursuant to 28 U.S.C. §1915(e)(2), should review the complaint to determine whether it should be dismissed. Section 1915(e) provides that a district court may dismiss a case filed in forma pauperis if it is satisfied that the action is frivolous, fails to state a claim upon which relief may be granted, or seeks monetary relief against an immune defendant. Id. § 1915(e)(2). If the complaint is deficient, the Court is required to dismiss the lawsuit on its own authority. See id.
The United States Supreme Court has observed that "a litigant whose filing fees and court costs are assumed by the public ... lacks an economic incentive to refrain from filing frivolous, malicious, or repetitive lawsuits." Neitzke v. Williams, 490 U.S. 319, 324 (1989). Still, the Supreme Court has cautioned that a case should only be dismissed as frivolous if it relies on meritless legal theories or facts that are clearly baseless. See id. at 327. A complaint should not be dismissed for failure to state a claim "without granting leave to amend at least once when a liberal reading of the complaint gives any indication that a valid claim might be stated." Gomez v. USAA Fed. Sav. Bank, 171 F.3d 794, 795 (2nd Cir. 1999) (per curiam) (citation and internal quotation marks omitted); see also Troville v. Venz, 303 F.3d 1256, 1260 & n.5 (11th Cir. 2002) (per curiam).
Under "U.S.C. 28", "Conspiracy", "Invasion of Privacy Terror Intent", "1980 Airplane Terror Against Boxing Athletes on way to Poland", 11/18/72 Jonestown Massacre Extorted as 1978", "Land, Oil, and Privacy Theft in Commission of Mass Murder of my Relatives"
Attached to the complaint is a copy of a Florida Uniform Traffic Citation showing that Plaintiff was fined $169.00 for "driving around detour signs/barricades. Road closed - driving past barricades in a closed roadway" and a copy of a trespass warning issued the day prior (Doc. 1-1; Doc. 1-2). According to Plaintiff the Highway Patrol Defendant:
...used illegal telephone tooth, illegal dog/deer tracking device, mentally impaired illegal device better than polygraph, and illegal micro-video technology Federal Crime, Invasion of Privacy, and Paramilitary Espionage Enemy Combatancy technology to plant/install on plaintiff's person in conspiracy to mass murder plaintiff's family and plaintiff with oil & land theft ...
Plaintiff is no stranger to this Court. Twice before he has filed cases that were ultimately dismissed due to incoherency and the failure to state a cause of action. See Case No. 6:15-cv-1955-RBD-GJK; Case No: 6:16-cv-1480-Orl-18TBS.
(2) DISMISS this case without leave to amend; and
(3) DIRECT the Clerk of Court to close the file.
RECOMMENDED in Orlando, Florida on June 5, 2019.
