KENNETH RAY BENTON PITTS,
ADC #85938 PLAINTIFF
v. 5:06CV00259SWW/HLJ
WARDEN LAY, et al. DEFENDANTS
Plaintiff, a state inmate proceeding pro se, seeks relief in a civil rights action pursuant to 42
U.S.C. § 1983, and has requested leave to proceed in forma pauperis pursuant to 28 U.S.C. § 1915
(DE #1). Although plaintiff has submitted a declaration that makes the showing required by §
1915(a), his request to proceed in forma pauperis will be denied. 28 U.S.C. § 1915(a).
The Court is required to screen complaints seeking relief against a governmental entity or
officer or employee of a governmental entity. 28 U.S.C. §1915(a). Additionally, the Prison Litigation
Reform Act (PLRA), 28 U.S.C. § 1915(g), provides that "[i]n no event shall a prisoner bring a civil
action or appeal a judgment in a civil action or proceeding under this section if the prisoner has, on
three (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."
The Court notes that plaintiff has had several complaints dismissed for failure to state a claim.1
In addition, the Court finds that plaintiff Pitts has not alleged any facts to indicate that he is under
See 5:06cv01305, 5:99cv00071, and 5:99cv00178.
