- ilnd;;1:20-cv-03772_de9 RegisterActionDescriptionText "MINUTE entry before the Honorable Virginia M. Kendall. Before the Court is 5AD0979 second application to proceed in forma pauperis 8 . Under 28 U.S.C. § 1915(a), the Court is authorized to permit Plaintiff to proceed in forma pauperis if she is unable to pay the mandated filing fee. The statute "is designed to ensure that indigent litigants have meaningful access to the federal courts." Neitzke v. Williams, 490 U.S. 319, 324 (1989). Plaintiff is eligible to proceed in forma pauperis if paying the filing fee would prevent her from purchasing the necessities of life. Zaun v. Dobbin, 628 F.2d 990, 992 (7th Cir. 1980). Courts reviewing complaints under § 1915(e)(2) apply the same standard used for dismissals under Rule 12(b)(6). Coleman v. Labor & Indus. Review Comm'n of Wis., 860 F.3d 461, 468 (7th Cir. 2017); Arnett v. Webster, 658 F.3d 742, 751 (7th Cir. 2011). The complaint must include "a short and plain statement of the claim showing that the pleader is entitled to relief." Fed. R. Civ. P. 8(a)(2); see also Ashcroft v. Iqbal, 556 U.S 602, 678 (2009). The statement must "give the defendant 'fair notice of what the... claim is and the grounds upon which it rests.'" E.E.O.C. v. Concentra Health Servs., Inc., 496 F.3d 773, 776 (7th Cir. 2007) (quoting Bell Atlantic Corp. v. Twombly, 550 U.S. 544, (2007)). Here, Luna Carreto's Amended Complaint 9 suffers from the same problems the Court identified in its previous order 5 . Namely, Luna Carreto describes herself as "a vessel of the United States," "a non-charitable irrevocable trust organized and existing under the laws of the District of Columbia," "a citizen of Illinois for diversity purposes," a domiciliary of "the Kingdom of Heaven," and an ambassador of a foreign state. Her claim in this case ostensibly pertains to a home mortgage, but she again reports that her claim is governed by the "New Covenant, administered by Intervenor in accord with the Ministry of Reconciliation." As the Court previously explained, this Court does not have jurisdiction to adjudicate such a claim. This Complaint does not give the defendants notice of the claims against them and it does not establish a basis for this Court's jurisdiction. The Complaint is dismissed without prejudice and the case is terminated. Mailed notice (lk, ) (Entered: 07/28/2020)" @default.
