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

MICAH ANGEL PLAINTIFF

v. 3:22-CV-00331-BRW

ARKANSAS DEPARTMENT OF HUMAN SERVICES DEFENDANT

ORDER

A district court has the authority to dismiss a case sua sponte for failure to state a claim.1 Plaintiff asserts that Defendant is “over providing snap benefits” to people.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 9th day of January, 2023.
