See Complaint, ECF No. 1 at 7 (“[t]he second plaintiff is essentially the same person as the first plaintiff” and “[t]he third plaintiff is also the stage name for the first plaintiff”) Accordingly, the Court will refer to him as “Plaintiff” rather than “Plaintiffs.”

See Complaint, ECF No. 1.

Plaintiff alleges claims for public nuisance, industrial espionage, intentional infliction of emotional distress (IIED), and tortious interference with business relations/contracts. See id. ¶¶ 60-66. Plaintiff also filed an Application to Proceed in District Court Without Prepaying Fees or Costs (Application). See Application, ECF No. 2. For the reasons stated below, the Court FINDS and RECOMMENDS that Plaintiff’s Complaint be DISMISSED without leave to amend and that Plaintiff’s Application be DENIED as moot.2 I. Screening The Court must subject each civil action commenced pursuant to Section 1915(a) to mandatory screening and order the dismissal of any claim that it Within fourteen days after a party is served with the Findings and Recommendation, pursuant to 28 U.S.C. § 636(b)(1), a party may file written objections in the United States District Court. A party must file any objections within the fourteen-day period to preserve appellate review of the Findings and Recommendation. finds frivolous, malicious, failing to state a claim upon which relief may be granted, or seeking monetary relief from a defendant immune from such relief.

See 28 U.S.C. § 1915(e)(2)(B); Lopez v. Smith, 203 F.3d 1122, 1127 (9th Cir. 2000) (stating that 28 U.S.C. § 1915(e) “not only permits but requires” the court to dismiss [a § 1915(a)] complaint that fails to state a claim). Additionally, the Court liberally construes a pro se complaint. See Eldridge v. Block, 832 F.2d 1132, 1137 (9th Cir. 1987). However, the Court cannot act as counsel for a pro se litigant, such as by supplying the essential elements of a claim. See Pliler v. Ford, 542 U.S. 225, 231 (2004); Ivey v. Bd. of Regents of Univ. of Alaska, 673 F.2d 266, 268 (9th Cir. 1982).

Plaintiff’s Complaint asserts the following counts: (1) public nuisance; (2) industrial espionage; (3) IIED; and (4) tortious interference with business relations/contracts. See Complaint, ECF No. 1 ¶¶ 60-66. Plaintiff’s claim for public nuisance is based on the allegation that Defendant Snoop Doggy Dogg is a public nuisance because “he is a marijuana smoker and former gangster rapper” and because he “is not on the level of Martin Luther King, Junior.” See id. ¶¶ 60- 61. Plaintiff’s industrial espionage claim does not have any factual allegations and rather argues: “While the tort of industrial espionage is usually connected to misappropriation of a trademark, trade secret, or patent involving intellectual property, . . . [it] should include ideas such as excessive advertising, subliminal messaging, and spying on consumers with artificial intelligence[.]” Id. ¶ 64. His IIED claim asserts in its entirety: “The plaintiff argues that it is both extreme and outrageous and egregious for NBC, Comcast, Peacock, and NBC Universal to constantly promote a marijuana smoker and former gangster rapper as being some type of an [sic] historical figure on the level of Martin Luther King, Junior when Snoop Doggy Dogg is clearly NOT on the level of Martin Luther King, Junior or Thurgood Marshall.” Id. ¶ 65. Finally, Plaintiff’s tortious interference with business relations/contracts claim asserts that “the promotion of marijauan [sic] smokers and former gangster rappers such as Snoop Doggy Dogg interferes with the careers of other African Americans who do not want marijuana smokers or gangster rappers like Snoop Doggy Dogg, Dr. Dre, or Kendrick Lamar being treated by NBC like the Reverend Dr. Martin Luther King, Junior or Thurgood Marshall.” Id. ¶ 66.

A court may dismiss a claim as frivolous if the facts alleged are “clearly baseless.” See Denton v. Hernandez, 504 U.S. 25, 32 (1992). “A finding of factual frivolousness is appropriate when the facts alleged rise to the level of the irrational or the wholly incredible[.]” Id. at 33. Based on a review of the entire Complaint, the Court FINDS that Plaintiff’s allegations and claims are “factually frivolous.” Accordingly, the Court FINDS and RECOMMENDS that Plaintiff’s Complaint be DISMISSED.

As to whether leave to amend the Complaint should be permitted, the Ninth Circuit has explained that, “[u]nless it is absolutely clear that no amendment can cure the defect, . . . a pro se litigant is entitled to notice of the complaint’s deficiencies and an opportunity to amend prior to dismissal of the action.” Lucas v. Dep’t of Corr., 66 F.3d 245, 248 (9th Cir. 1995) (citations omitted). Because Plaintiff’s allegations are factually frivolous, the Court FINDS that it is “absolutely clear” that no amendment will cure the defects in Plaintiff’s Complaint. Therefore, the Court FINDS and RECOMMENDS that Plaintiff’s Complaint be DISMISSED without leave to amend.

II. Application to Proceed in District Court Without Prepaying Fees or Costs Insofar as this Court finds and recommends that Plaintiff’s Complaint be dismissed without leave to amend, it also FINDS and RECOMMENDS that Plaintiff’s Application be DENIED as moot.

CONCLUSION The Court FINDS and RECOMMENDS that the district court: • DISMISS the Complaint, ECF No. 1, without leave to amend; and • DENY the Application, ECF No. 2, as moot.

IT IS SO FOUND AND RECOMMENDED.
