The Court will grant the application and dismiss the case. Plaintiff, a resident of Laurel, Maryland, has sued the Federal Bureau of Investigation. In the one-page Complaint filed on December 30, 2022, Plaintiff alleges only that the FBI “has been harassing” him “through terrorism chemical weapons since 2013 roughly.” On January 5, 2023, Plaintiff filed 69 pages of unenlightening exhibits, ECF No. 3. Federal courts “are without power to entertain claims otherwise within their jurisdiction if,” as here, “they are so attenuated and unsubstantial as to be absolutely devoid of merit, wholly insubstantial, [or] obviously frivolous[.]” Hagans v. Lavine, 415 U.S. 528, 536–37 (1974) (internal quotation marks and citations omitted). Therefore, this action will be dismissed by separate order. _________/s/______________ CHRISTOPHER R.
