Plaintiff Lawrence Wilder, Sr., a 44-year-old African American male claiming psychiatric disabilities, filed a pro se complaint against Hendersen Webb, Inc. and others, seeking $200,789,113 in damages under various federal statutes and common law. The complaint, spanning seven pages, is described as rambling and incoherent, referencing numerous public figures, including John Gotti and Congressman Elijah Cummings. Wilder alleges false accusations aimed at violating his due process rights, disrespecting a DOJ pardon, and suppressing evidence related to his innocence. Additionally, he claims stalking by a judge from the U.S. Court of Appeals for the Fourth Circuit.

The court determined that the complaint presents fantastic or delusional allegations, which are grounds for dismissal. Citing relevant case law, the court concluded that the complaint lacked an arguable basis in law and fact, thus deeming it frivolous. The plaintiff's application to proceed in forma pauperis was granted, but the complaint was ultimately dismissed. A separate order was issued to accompany this memorandum opinion.
