STERLING DUANE WOOLFORD, SR. PLAINTIFF v. LATONYA HONORABLE, 5th Division Circuit Court Judge of 6th District, Pulaski County Circuit Court and DON THOMPSON, Public Defender, Pulaski County Circuit Court DEFENDANTS
ORDER
D.P. Marshall Jr. United States District Judge
1. Woolford is a three-striker. Before filing this lawsuit, Woolford had at least three cases dismissed for failing to state a claim. E.g., Woolford v. Wright, 4:20-cv-1401-BSM (E.D. Ark.); Woolford v. Circuit Court of Bentonville, 5:22-cv-5141 (W.D. Ark.); Woolford v. Higgins, et al., 4:22-cv-655-DPM (E.D. Ark.). Nothing in Woolford's new complaint, Doc. 2, suggests he's currently in imminent danger of serious physical injury. 28 U.S.C. § 1915(g). His complaint will therefore be dismissed without prejudice.
2. If Woolford wants to pursue this case, then he must pay $405 (the filing and administrative fees) and file a motion to reopen the case by 20 March 2024. An in forma pauperis appeal from this Order and accompanying Judgment will not be taken in good faith. 28 U.S.C. § 1915(a)(3).
So Ordered.
