ORDER 

DEFENDANTS 

1. Philpot is a three-striker. Before filing this lawsuit, he had 

at least three cases dismissed for failing to state a claim. E.g., Philpott 

v. Sebastian County Courthouse, et al., Case No. 2:11-cv-2101-PKH (W.D. 

Ark.); Philpott v. Barnett, No. 2:07-cv-02074-JLH (W.D. Ark.); and 

Philpott v. Arkansas, et al., No. 5:07-cv-161-JLH (E.D. Ark). Nothing in 

Case 4:24-cv-01035-DPM Document 4 Filed 01/03/25 Page 1 of 2
Philpott' 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 Philpott wants to pursue this case, then he must pay $405 

(the filing and administrative fees) and file a motion to reopen the case 

by 3 February 2025. 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). 

3. Philpott' s motion for the appointment of counsel, Doc. 2, is 

denied. 

4. The Court directs the Clerk to correct the spelling of 

Philpott's name on the docket sheet. 

So Ordered.
