RECOMMENDED DECISION AFTER PRELIMINARY REVIEW
Because I granted Tiffany Dawn Fleeman’s application to proceed in forma
pauperis, see ECF No. 6, her complaint (ECF No. 1) is before me for preliminary
review, see 28 U.S.C. § 1915(e)(2)(B). 	In her pro se complaint, Fleeman accuses a
“Mrs. Potts” and other staff at the HSC Homeless Shelter in Portland of “illegally
forcing people to hear [her] think in public,” exposing her to “bad people and
situations,” causing her “[b]rain damage” and implanting “a computer type device”
into her head, “starting a racist organization up about” her, attempting to murder
her, and holding her family members hostage. 	Complaint at 4. 	Given the obvious
frivolity of Fleeman’s irrational allegations, I recommend that the Court DISMISS
her complaint. See 28 U.S.C. § 1915(e)(2)(B)(i) (“[T]he court shall dismiss the case at
any time if the court determines that . . . the action . . . is frivolous . . . .”); Denton v.
Hernandez, 504 U.S. 25, 32-33 (1992) (holding that a case is factually frivolous “when
the facts alleged rise to the level of the irrational or the wholly incredible”).
