IN THE UNITED STATES DISTRICT COURT

EASTERN DISTRICT OF ARKANSAS

 PINE BLUFF DIVISION

PATRICK L. SHERMAN 

ADC #96304 PLAINTIFF

V. 5:07CV000193 JMM/JTR

 

ARKANSAS DEPARTMENT OF

CORRECTION, and LARRY NORRIS, 

Director, Arkansas Department of Correction DEFENDANTS

ORDER

The Court has reviewed the Proposed Findings and Recommended Disposition submitted by

United States Magistrate Judge J. Thomas Ray and the filed objections. The Court has considered

all of plaintiff’s objection including his contention that the three-strike provision set forth in 28

U.S.C. § 1915(g) is unconstitutional and finds them to be without merit. See Higgins v. Carpenter,

258 F.3d 797, 801 (8th Cir.2001) cert. denied by Early v. Harmon, 535 U.S. 1040, 122 S.Ct. 1803,

152 L.Ed.2d 659 (2002).

 After carefully considering these documents and making a de novo review of the record in

this case, the Court concludes that the Proposed Findings and Recommended Disposition should be,

and hereby are, approved and adopted in their entirety as this Court's findings in all respects. 

IT IS THEREFORE ORDERED that:

1. Plaintiff’s Application to Proceed In Forma Pauperis (docket entry #1) is DENIED,

pursuant to the three-strikes provision set forth in 28 U.S.C. § 1915(g).

2. The Complaint (docket entry #2) is DISMISSED, WITH PREJUDICE, pursuant to

28 U.S.C. § 1915A, for failing to state a claim upon which relief may be granted.

3. The Court CERTIFIES, pursuant to 28 U.S.C. § 1915(a)(3), that an in forma pauperis

appeal from this Order and the accompanying Judgment would not be taken in good faith.

Dated this 8 day of August , 2007.
