OPINION
PER CURIAM.
Credico, a Pennsylvania state prisoner proceeding pro se, appeals the District Court's dismissal of his complaint pursuant to 28 U.S.C. § 1915(e)(2)(B). His complaint consisted of, as the District Court noted, "largely incomprehensible and fanciful claims." Specifically, Credico alleged that he had examined the "Stuxnet" computer virus and determined that it had been compiled by the United States for use as a weapon and that its deployment constituted a declaration of war without Congressional approval. He argued that these actions violated his rights under the 14th Amendment to the Constitution as they could have resulted in a nuclear winter. He sought one million dollars in damages, as well as "a lil [sic ] video hearing chat," a television whereby he and his cellmate can watch the news, a laptop, Lexis Nexis software, Windows Vista, and "Scholarship."
Although a district court should generally give leave to amend prior to dismissing under these circumstances or make its own determination whether any amendment would be futile, Grayson v. Mayview State Hosp., 293 F.3d 103, 114 (3d Cir.2002), we are satisfied — especially in light of Credico's subsequent filings— that the District Court did not err in dismissing his complaint without affording Credico leave to amend as any amendment would have been futile. He offers nothing by way of explanation how, even if his outlandish claims were true, any constitutional rights are implicated. In fact, Cred-ico stated in his Notice of Appeal that he will proffer evidence of his claims only after he is awarded a judgment of at least $60,000. We hold that this appeal is frivolous, and will dismiss it pursuant to 28 U.S.C. § 1915(e)(2)(B).
. This Court has jurisdiction over this appeal pursuant to 28 U.S.C. § 1291 and its review of a District Court's sua sponte dismissal for failure to state a claim is plenary. Allah v. Seiverling, 229 F.3d 220, 223 (3d Cir.2000). A court may dismiss a complaint under § 1915(e)(2)(B)(i) if the action "lacks an arguable basis either in law or in fact." Neitzke v. Williams, 490 U.S. 319, 325, 109 S.Ct. 1827, 104 L.Ed.2d 338 (1989).
