UNITED STATES COURT OF APPEALS

FOR THE TENTH CIRCUIT

JOHN ROBERT DEMOS, JR., 

 Plaintiff - Appellant,

v.

UNITED STATES OF AMERICA, 

 Defendant - Appellee.

No. 08-5098

(D.C. No. 4:08-CV-303-TCK-FHM)

(N. D. Oklahoma)

ORDER

Before KELLY, MURPHY, and McCONNELL, Circuit Judges.

This appeal by John Robert Demos, a Washington state prisoner, from district court

orders dismissing without prejudice his civil action under 28 U.S.C. § 1915(g) for failure to

prepay the full filing fee is before this court based on Mr. Demos’ request for permission to

proceed pro se.

In Demos v. Keating, 33 F. App’x 918 (10th Cir. Jan. 30, 2002) (unpublished), this

court enjoined Mr. Demos from proceeding in this court as an appellant or as a petitioner

without the representation of a licensed attorney admitted to practice in this court, unless he

first obtained permission to proceed pro se. In a July 15, 2008 Show Cause Order, Mr.

Demos was directed to fully comply with the 2002 filing restrictions. Mr. Demos was

warned that failure to comply with these restrictions in any way would result in dismissal of

this appeal for failure to prosecute.

Upon review, the court concludes that Mr. Demos’s request for permission to proceed

pro se does not comply with the court’s 2002 filing restrictions. Mr. Demos failed to list all

cases currently pending or previously filed in this court and failed to file notarized affidavits.

The request for permission to proceed pro se is DENIED. The appeal is

DISMISSED. A copy of this order will stand as the mandate of this court.
