 Section 1915(g) provides that a prisoner is not allowed to bring a civil action

under 28 U.S.C. § 1915 without prepayment of the requisite filing fee if he “has, on 3 or

more occasions, while incarcerated or detained in any facility, brought an action or appeal

in a court of the United States that was dismissed on the grounds that it is frivolous,

malicious, or fails to state claim upon which relief may be granted, unless the prisoner is

under imminent danger of serious physical injury.” 28 U.S.C. § 1915(g).

IN THE UNITED STATES DISTRICT COURT FOR THE 

SOUTHERN DISTRICT OF ALABAMA

SOUTHERN DIVISION

STEVE T. CLIFF, :

Plaintiff, :

vs. : CIVIL ACTION 04-0301-WS-C

DOROTHY MCILLIANS, et al., : 

Defendants. :

ORDER

Plaintiff, an Alabama prison inmate, sought leave to proceed in forma pauperis

under 28 U.S.C. § 1915 by filing his motion to proceed without prepayment of fees (Doc.

2). Plaintiff’s motion was granted (Doc. 3), and he was allowed to proceed in forma

pauperis without prepayment of a partial filing fee. However, during the screening process

under 28 U.S.C. § 1915(e)(2)(B), the Court discovered that § 1915(g) should apply to

plaintiff’s action due to six actions that were dismissed on §1915 grounds and because the

present complaint does not indicate he was “under imminent danger of serious physical

injury” at the time of filing.1

order. 

DONE this 26th day of April, 2005.
