MEMORANDUM OPINION

This matter is before the Court on review of plaintiffs pro se complaint and application to proceed in forma pauperis. The C_fourp,tljw`illl grant plaintiffs application to proceed in forma pauperis and will dismiss this action for lack of subject matter jurisdiction. See Fed. R. Civ. P. l2(h)(3) (requiring the court to dismiss an action "at any time” it determines that subject matter jurisdiction is wanting).

Plaintiff, a Texas state prisoner, sues three state court judges in Houston, Texas, and two prosecutors there. The complaint’s allegations are vague but plaintiff appears to accuse the defendants of misconduct because his post-conviction motion was denied. Plaintiff wants this Court to review the decisions of the Texas court. See Compl. at 6-7.

jurisdiction is wanting because a federal district court is not a reviewing court and, thus, lacks subject matter jurisdiction to review the decisions of a state court. See
