CLINTON T. ELDRIDGE, Petitioner, v. U.S. DEPARTMENT OF JUSTICE, et al., Respondents.
Assigned To : Unassigned
Assign. Date : 10/20/2016
Description: Miscellaneous MEMORANDUM AND ORDER
Pursuant to the Prison Litigation Reform Act ("PLRA"), unless a prisoner "is under imminent danger of serious physical injury," he may not proceed in forma pauperis if while incarcerated he has filed at least three prior cases that were dismissed as frivolous, malicious, or for failure to state a claim. 28 U.S.C. § 1915(g); see Ibrahim v. District of Columbia, 463 F.3d 3, 6 (D.C. Cir. 2006). Because the petitioner has accumulated at least three strikes, see Eldridge v. Tucker, No. 99-0061 (D.D.C. June 6, 2000), and because he does not allege that he is under imminent danger of serious physical injury, his application to proceed in forma pauperis must be denied.
It is hereby
ORDERED that the petitioner's application to proceed in forma pauperis is DENIED. It is further
ORDERED that this miscellaneous action is DISMISSED.
SO ORDERED.
