IN THE UNITED STATES DISTRICT COURT EASTERN DISTRICT OF ARKANSAS NORTHERN DIVISION

MICAH ANGEL PLAINTIFF

v. 3:22-CV-00337- BRW

JONESBORO POLICE DEPARTMENT DEFENDANT

ORDER

A district court has the authority to dismiss a case sua sponte for failure to state a claim.1 Plaintiff asserts that the Jonesboro Police Department “has refused to fill four FOIA (Freedom of Information Act) requests, and they tried to charge her a fee to release a 911 call and dispatch video.”2 Because Plaintiff’s complaint is nonsensical, frivolous, and states no cause of action against Defendants for which relief may be granted, this case is DISMISSED. The motion to proceed in forma pauperis (Doc. No. 1) is MOOT. IT IS SO ORDERED this 5th day of January, 2023.
