[¶ 41] The complaint here, not being plausible on its face, was appropriately dismissed. Other examples of court gatek-eeping activities include Scott v. Harris, 550 U.S. 372, 380-81, 127 S.Ct. 1769, 167 L.Ed.2d 686 (2007) (stating that a court may refuse to allow action to proceed beyond the summary judgment stage based on a story that is “blatantly contradicted by the record, so that no reasonable jury could believe it”); United States v. Cooper, 170 F.3d 691, 692 (7th Cir.1999) (stating that a criminal defendant has no constitutional requirement or right to take frivolous appeal); M.R. Civ. P. 91(b) (stating that no entitlement to waiver of fees for indigent maintaining frivolous action).
