MacDougall, 454 U.S. 364, 365 (1982) (per curiam); Haines v. Kerner, 404 U.S. 519, 520 (1972), the district court may dismiss an action sua sponte if the complaint is so “implausible, attenuated, unsubstantial, frivolous, devoid of merit, or no longer open to discussion” as to deprive the court of jurisdiction.

Iqbal, 129 S.Ct. 1937, 1949 (2009). APro se plaintiffs are not automatically entitled to take every case to Dockets.Justia.com trial.@ Price v. Caruso, 451 F. Supp. 2d 889, 893 (E. D.
