MEMORANDUM
Susan Morrison appeals pro se from the district court’s judgment denying her request to proceed in forma pauperis and dismissing her action alleging that defendants have conspired with and failed to investigate and prosecute individuals who have terrorized her and her family. We have jurisdiction under 28 U.S.C. § 1291. We review for an abuse of discretion the denial of leave to proceed in forma pauper-is, and de novo a determination that a lacks arguable substance in law or fact. Tripati v. First Nat’l Bank & Trust, 821 F.2d 1368, 1369 (9th Cir.1987). We affirm.
The district court did not abuse its discretion by denying Morrison leave to proceed in forma pauperis because Morrison failed to allege sufficient facts to state a plausible claim for relief. See id. at 1370 (“A district court may deny leave to proceed in forma pauperis at the outset if it appears from the face of the proposed complaint that the action is frivolous or without merit.”); see also Ashcroft v. Iqbal, 556 U.S. 662, 678, 129 S.Ct. 1937, 173 L.Ed.2d 868 (2009) (to avoid dismissal, “a complaint must contain sufficient factual matter, accepted as true, to state a claim to relief that is plausible on its face” (citation and internal quotation marks omitted)); United States v. Hall, 559 F.2d 1160, 1163 (9th Cir.1977) (U.S. Attorney has broad discretion in determining which cases to prosecute).
AFFIRMED.
This disposition is not appropriate for publication and is not precedent except as provided by 9th Cir. R. 36-3.
