August 30, 2019 Opinion or Order Filing 5 ORDER GRANTING IN FORMA PAUPERIS STATUS, DISMISSING COMPLAINT, AND DIRECTING FURTHER PROCEEDINGS - The plaintiff's motion to proceed in forma pauperis, dkt. #3 , is granted. The plaintiff's complaint must be dismissed as frivolous because it is "'lack[ing] an arguable basis either in law or in fact.'" Felton v. City of Chicago, 827 F.3d 632, 635 (7th Cir. 2016) (quoting Neitzke v. Williams, 490 U.S. 319, 325 (1989)). The plaintiff bases his claim on hisalleged status of secured party creditor and other sovereign citizen arguments. Similar arguments have been universally rejected as frivolous. See United States v. Benabe, 654 F.3d 753, 767 (7th Cir. 2011). None of the plaintiff's allegations indicate that he attempted to pay his restitution obligation in full but was denied. For these reasons, the Court dismisses the Complaint pursuant to 28 U.S.C. 1915A(b)(1) as frivolous. The plaintiff shall have through September 30, 2019, in which to show cause why Judgment consistent with this Order should not issue. (See Order). Signed by Judge Jane Magnus-Stinson on 8/30/2019.
