PLAINTIFF’S APPLICATIONS TO 

PROCEED IN FORMA PAUPERIS, AND

DAYS

(Doc. Nos. 6, 7, 8)

Plaintiff Danny Cohea is a state prisoner proceeding pro se with this civil rights action 

pursuant to 42 U.S.C. § 1983. Plaintiff commenced this action by filing his complaint on July 5, 

2016. (Doc. No. 1.) On July 25, 2016, and August 3, 2016, plaintiff filed applications to proceed 

in forma pauperis pursuant to 28 U.S.C. § 1915. (Doc. Nos. 6, 7.) The matter was referred to a 

United States magistrate judge pursuant to 28 U.S.C. § 636(b)(1)(B) and Local Rule 302. 

On September 16, 2016, the assigned magistrate judge entered findings and 

recommendations, recommending that plaintiff’s applications to proceed in forma pauperis be 

denied because he has suffered three strike pursuant to 28 U.S.C. § 1915(g) and does not qualify 

to proceed in forma pauperis under the imminent danger exception. (Doc. No. 8.) On October
