No. CV 07-1853-PHX-MHM (DKD)

ORDER

Pending before this Court are Petitioner’s “Motion For ‘T.R.O.’ In Pursuant To Rule

(65)(b), Fed.R.Civ.P.” (Doc. #9) and “Motion For Recalculation” (Doc. #10). The Court will

deny both Motions.

I. Background 

On September 26, 2007, Plaintiff Jerrod Len Booth, who is confined in the Maricopa

County Fourth Avenue Jail, filed a pro se civil rights Complaint pursuant to 42 U.S.C.

§ 1983 (Doc. #1) and an Application to Proceed In Forma Pauperis (Doc. #3). By Order

filed October 10, 2007 (Doc. #4), the Court denied the Application to Proceed In Forma

Pauperis and dismissed the Complaint and this action pursuant to 28 U.S.C. § 1915(g)

without prejudice to Plaintiff filing a complaint in a new case accompanied by the full

$350.00 filing fee. Judgment was entered on October 10, 2007 (Doc. #5).

On October 24, 2007, Petitioner filed a “Motion of Inquiry” (Doc. #7), in which he

“plead[ed] with this Court for the reason(s) why” his Application to Proceed In Forma

Pauperis (Doc. #3) was denied. By Order filed November 6, 2007 (Doc. #8), Plaintiff’s

Motion was granted to the extent that the Court reiterated that Plaintiff’s Application to

Proceed In Forma Pauperis (Doc. #3) was denied because he had more than three strikes

under 28 U.S.C. § 1915(g) and he was not in imminent danger of serious physical injury. For

further details, Plaintiff was advised to refer to the Court’s October 10, 2007 Order (Doc.

#4).

II. Motion for T.R.O.

On November 14, 2007, Plaintiff filed a “Motion For ‘T.R.O.’ In Pursuant To Rule

(65)(b), Fed.R.Civ.P.” (Doc. #9), in which he seeks a temporary restraining order for access

to legal research material. Because this case is closed, with judgment having been entered

on October 10, 2007 (Doc. #5), Plaintiff’s Motion will be denied as moot.

III. Motion for Recalculation

On November 15, 2007, Plaintiff filed a “Motion For Recalculation” (Doc. #10), in

which he “begs” this Court for a recount of his strikes under 28 U.S.C. § 1915(g) and written

documentation of his strikes if he has three or more. Plaintiff’s Motion will be denied. 

The Court’s Order filed October 10, 2007 (Doc. #4) is self-explanatory. It lists four

strikes against Plaintiff out of the 34 other lawsuits which he had filed in this Court while he

was a prisoner. In case Plaintiff no longer has his copy of the Court’s Order, the four prior

actions dismissed for failure to state a claim that count as strikes were: (1) Booth v. Stewart,

CV-02-2332-PHX-MHM (DKD) (D. Ariz. Order of dismissal filed February 13, 2003); (2)

Booth v. Schriro, CV-04-2347-PHX-MHM (DKD) (D. Ariz. Order of dismissal filed August

31, 2005); (3) Booth v. Schriro, CV-04-2807-PHX-MHM (DKD) (D. Ariz. Order of

dismissal filed March 15, 2006); and (4) Booth v. Schriro, CV-05-105-PHX-MHM (DKD)

(D. Ariz. Judgment of dismissal filed April 27, 2006).
