7 Plaintiff, ORDER DISMISSING CASE WITH v. PREJUDICE 8 (ECF Nos. 4, 5, 8) MENDEZ III, ET AL., 9 Defendants. 10 11 Pro se Plaintiff Provino filed this action against J.T. Mendez III, Barack 12 Obama, and Jeffrey E. Church alleging an interstate wire swindle. Provino has 13 filed an application to proceed in forma pauperis (IFP) (ECF No. 1) and pro se 14 complaint (ECF No. 1-1). 15 Magistrate Judge Craig Denney has issued a Report and Recommendation 16 (“R&R”) recommending that this Court dismiss this action with prejudice and 17 deny Provino’s application to proceed IFP because the complaint and other filings 18 “present fantastic and delusional allegations.” (ECF No. 8.) The Court takes 19 notice that Provino has filed previous frivolous lawsuits. See e.g., Provino v. 20 Abbott, No. 3:18-CV-00203-MMD-WGC,
