Executive Summary
U.S. District Court for the District of Columbia dismisses pro se complaint filed by man seeking $200 mil. from FDA for agency's incompetence in approving "a steroid perfume that constitutes sexual harassment by those who wear [it]." Smelling the perfume evokes "dirty thoughts," plaintiff claims. Plaintiff himself was a victim of the substance - which "poses as great a threat to society in general as the atom bomb" - losing his job due to perfume's effect over him, according to Oct. 2 statement. In cases where a plaintiff is proceeding in forma pauperis - without the funds to cover the normal costs of a lawsuit - court is obligated to dismiss if complaint fails to state a claim upon which relief may be granted, as in complaint described
