The trial court has the discretion tO decide whether a complaint is frivolous, and such finding is appropriate when the facts alleged are irrational or wholly incredible. Demon v. Hernandez, 504 US. 25, 33 (1992); see Neifzke v. Williams, 490 US. 319, 325 (1989) (“[A] complaint, containing as it does bOth factual allegations and legal conclusions, is frivolous where it lacks an arguable basis either in law or in fact”). Having reviewed the plaintiff s complaint, the Court concludes that what factual contentions are identifiable are baseless and wholly incredible. Furthermore, the allegations Of the complaint “constitute the sort Of patently

insubstantial claims” that deprive the Court Of subject matter jurisdiction. Tooley v. Napolitano,

586 F.3d 1006, 1010

(DC. Cir. 2009).

The Court will grant plaintiff’ 5 application to proceed informa pauperis and will dismiss the complaint pursuant tO

28 U.S.C. § 1915

(e)(2)(B)(i). An Order consistent with this

Memorandum Opinion is issued separately.
