The Honorable Laurie Smith Camp, United States District Judge for the

District of Nebraska. 

-2-

In this prisoner civil rights matter, Jacqaus L. Martin appeals the district

court’s1

 dismissal of certain claims and its adverse grant of summary judgment as to

remaining claims. Martin’s lawsuit arose from a strip search in October 1999. He

claimed excessive force was used during the search, and that the search was done in

retaliation for his exercise of his First Amendment rights and constituted a sexual

assault. Having carefully reviewed the record, we find--and Martin has provided--no

basis for reversal.

We note that Martin has been previously determined to have three strikes under

28 U.S.C. § 1915(g), see Martin v. Neb. Dep’t of Corr. Servs., No. 00-2551, 2000 WL

1665076 (8th Cir. Nov. 7, 2000) (unpublished per curiam), but that he has been

permitted under section 1915(g)’s imminent-danger exception to proceed in forma

pauperis (IFP) in the instant lawsuit and appeal, as well as in two other lawsuits and

related appeals, based on his assertions that he is at risk for sexual assaults and

unwarranted strip searches. Because the record in this case and the other two shows

that his assertions are baseless, we alert the district court that, in future cases making

similar claims, Martin ought to be required to demonstrate that he is truly in imminent

danger before being allowed to proceed IFP.

Accordingly, we affirm. See 8th Cir. R. 47B. We also deny his pending

motion.
