EASTERN DISTRICT OF MISSOURI EASTERN DIVISION KING SOLOMON SEALS, ) ) ) Plaintiff, ) ) v. ) No. 4:25-cv-00770-SPM ) EVERY FALSE IMPERSONATOR ) OF MY OCCUPATIONS, TITLES, ) ETC. IN THE STATE OF ) MISSOURI, ) ) Defendants. )
OPINION, MEMORANDUM AND ORDER This matter is before the Court on self-represented plaintiff King Solomon Seals’ application to proceed in the district court without prepaying fees or costs. Having reviewed the application, the Court will grant it and waive the filing fee. Furthermore, after initial review, the Court will dismiss this action. Legal Standard on Initial Review Under
28 U.S.C. § 1915(e), a Court must dismiss an indigent plaintiff’s complaint that (1) is frivolous or malicious; (2) fails to state a claim upon which relief may be granted; or (3) seeks monetary relief against a defendant who is immune from such relief. A complaint is frivolous if “it lacks an arguable basis either in law or in fact.” Neitzke v. Williams,
490 U.S. 319, 327(1989). Dismissals on this ground should only be ordered when legal theories are “indisputably baseless.” Denton v. Hernandez,
504 U.S. 25, 31(1992). “Clearly baseless” factual allegations include those that are “fanciful,” “fantastic,” and “delusional.”
Id.at 32-33 (quoting Neitzke,
490 U.S. at 325, 327).
The Complaint Plaintiff brings this civil rights action under
42 U.S.C. § 1983alleging defendants “Every False Impersonator of My Occupations, Titles, Etc. in the State of Missouri” are falsely impersonating him and using his name. Because the
complaint is difficult to discern, the Court will quote it in full. I have been false-impersonated since 1971. In the whole state of Missouri [interference] with my organization. I’ve been the first and original man to inhabit this earthland, as King, Solomon Seal, or Seales or Seals and the only Moorish American Asiatic-Moslem in the whole world, and, I made certain that I have “all” and every first and original occupation in the world. I was born or created as male [and] female, so my female name is “Saloam.” So, I’m perfected man, as well as perfection of my kind (woman) (personality). The defendants are trying to take my nationality and divine [illegible].
ECF No. 1 at 3. For relief, plaintiff seeks “$7000,7000,7000 zillion dollars and all wealth, gold, silver and [commerce] from everybody in Missouri and to give them 50 years in prison for their unjust deeds against me.” ECF No. 1 at 5.
-2- Discussion Based on the complaint, the Court finds plaintiff's claims lack an arguable basis in law and fact, and are frivolous. Plaintiffs legal theories are indisputably meritless and his factual allegations are “fanciful,” “fantastic,” and “delusional.” See Denton,
504 U.S. at 32-33 (quoting Neitzke,
490 U.S. at 327). Thus, the Court finds that plaintiff's complaint is frivolous and fails to state viable legal claims. Accordingly, IT IS HEREBY ORDERED that plaintiffs application to proceed in the district court without prepaying fees and costs is GRANTED. [ECF No. 2] IT IS FURTHER ORDERED that plaintiff's claims against defendants are DISMISSED without prejudice. IT IS FURTHER ORDERED that plaintiff's motion to appoint counsel is DENIED as moot. [ECF No. 3] An Order of Dismissal will accompany this Opinion, Memorandum and Order. Dated this 29" day of May, 2025.
