Nature of Suit Code: 555
Nature of Suit: Prisoner - Prison Condition
Cause of Action: 42:1983 Prisoner Civil Rights

1

 Under § 1915(g), a prisoner may not proceed with a civil suit in forma pauperis if the

prisoner has, “on 3 or more prior 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 a claim upon which relief may be granted, unless the

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

Circuit has held that a dismissal pursuant to Heck v. Humphrey, 512 U.S. 477 (1994),

constitutes a strike under § 1915(g). Armentrout v. Tyra, 175 F.3d 1023 (8th Cir. Feb. 9, 1999)

Jefferson Correctional Ctr., 136 F.3d 458, 462-64 (5th Cir. 1998)).
