MEMORANDUM ORDER

Frederick Banks, a federal inmate at the Northeast Ohio Correctional Center, has presented a barely intelligible complaint/petition which he seeks leave to prosecute in forma pauperis. In the complaint/petition Banks appears to be alleging that he is presently illegally in federal custody and that his rights as a Native American and as a Wicca have been violated. As a result of his incarceration he appears to be seeking both his release and damages ("wherefore, the foregoing Petition and Complaint should be granted. Banks should be immediately released from unlawful confinement along with all other requested and appropriate relief"). Named as defendants are all three branches of the Government of the United States, i.e. the President, the Senate and House of Representatives, and the Supreme Court, as well as various officials of all three branches and members of the Pennsylvania government and various news media. In support of the present application, Banks has not submitted any supporting documentation making it impossible to determine whether or not he is eligible for such status. 28 U.S.C.
