WITHERSPOON v. THE STATE OF NEW JERSEY Doc. 2 UNITED STATES DISTRICT COURT DISTRICT OF NEW JERSEY : : DESMOND WITHERSPOON, : Plaintiff, : : v. : : THE STATE OF NEW JERSEY, : Defendant. : : : Civil Action No. 14-7229 (SRC) OPINION CHESLER, District Judge This matter comes before the Court on the application filed by Plaintiff Desmond Witherspoon to proceed in forma pauperis without fees under 28 U.S.C. § 1915. The Court finds that Plaintiff qualifies for in forma pauperis status, yet his Complaint will be dismissed. The Court must examine Plaintiff’s claim and dismiss it if frivolous or legally insufficient. 28 U.S.C. § 1915(e)(2). Here, Plaintiff demands damages based on a cause of action of “Discrimination, Prejudice, Public Humiliation.” No further information is provided. As such, Plaintiff has failed to state a basis for federal subject matter jurisdiction, and he has failed to state a facially plausible claim for relief. For the reasons provided in the Opinion for Civil Action No. 14-6296, Plaintiff is on notice that he may be sanctioned if he continues to file unsubstantiated and repetitive lawsuits. An appropriate Order will be filed. s/Stanley R. Chesler STANLEY R. CHESLER United States District Judge Dated: December 1, 2014 Dockets.Justia.com
