`
`MEMORANDUM OPINION
`
`Plaintiff, proceeding pro se, has submitted a complaint and an application to proceed in
`
`forma pauperis. The application will be granted, but the complaint will be dismissed for lack of
`
`jurisdiction.
`
`The complaint seeks to compel the United States, through the Director of the Secret
`
`Service and the U.S. Attorney General, to arrest and prosecute the sitting U.S. President, George
`
`Walker Bush, and Vice—President, Richard Bruce Cheney, for war crimes and other criminal
`
`violations. This court has limited jurisdiction. While it is empowered to hear civil actions
`
`arising under the Constitution, laws, or treaties of the United States, 28 U.S.C. § 1331, plaintiff
`
`has not identified any provision of the Constitution, laws, or treaties of the United States that
`
`provides him a private right of action to bring suit against the United States for the relief he
`
`seeks. This court may entertain a suit against the United States only where the United States has
`
`expressly waived its sovereign immunity from suit. Accordingly, this court has no subj ect matter
`
`jurisdiction over this case and the complaint will be dismissed for lack of subj ect matter
`
`jurisdiction.
`
`A final order accompanies this memorandum opinion.
