ORDER 

PLAINTIFF 

DEFENDANTS 

1. Nixon moves to proceed in forma pauperis. Doc. 1. But he is a 

three-striker. 28 U.S.C. § 1915(g). Before filing this lawsuit, he had at 

least three cases dismissed for failing to state a claim. E.g., Nixon v. 

Mills, 3:10-cv-12-BSM; Nixon v. Cox, 3:17-cv-122-BRW; Nixon v. Hitt, 

3:17-cv-138-JM. In his new complaint, Nixon alleges he is wrongfully 

imprisoned and that his bond should not have been revoked for failure 

to appear. Doc. 2. But it doesn't appear that Nixon is currently in 

imminent danger. His motion to proceed in forma pauperis, Doc. 1, is 

therefore denied. 

2. Nixon's complaint will be dismissed without prejudice. If 

Nixon wants to pursue this case, then he must pay the $400 filing and 

administrative fees and file a motion to reopen this case by 5 April 2020.

An in forma pauperis appeal from this Order and accompanying 

Judgment would not be taken in good faith. 28 U.S.C. § 1915(a)(3). 

So Ordered.
