IN THE UNITED STATES DISTRICT COURT FOR THE EASTERN DISTRICT OF ARKANSAS DELTA DIVISION ANTONIO WILLIAMS PLAINTIFF ADC #152981 v. CASE NO. 2:21-CV-00106 BSM BILL JAMES, et al. DEFENDANTS ORDER Antonio Williams’s motion to proceed in forma pauperis [Doc. No. 1] is granted, but he must pay the full filing fee of $350. His complaint [Doc. No. 2] is dismissed without

prejudice. Williams’s initial partial filing fee is $87.31. Williams’s custodian shall withdraw any portion of the partial filing fee available and continue to do so until the partial fee has been paid in full. After the partial filing fee is paid, Williams’s custodian shall withdraw monthly payments in the amount of twenty percent of the preceding month’s income credited to his

account each time the account exceeds $10 until the statutory fee has been paid in full.

(b)(2). The clerk is directed to send a copy of this order to the Warden of the East Arkansas Regional Unit of the Arkansas Department of Corrections, P.O. Box 970, Marianna, Arkansas 72360; the ADC Trust Fund Centralized Banking Office, P.O. Box

8908, Pine Bluff, Arkansas 71611; and the ADC Compliance Office, P.O. Box 20550, Pine Bluff, Arkansas 71612. Williams’s

claims are dismissed without prejudice because Williams has failed to state a claim upon which relief can be granted. Jurisdiction over any state law claims is denied.

(c)(3). An in forma pauperis appeal would not be taken in good faith and this dismissal counts as a “strike.”

(g). This is the case because Williams’s in forma pauperis status triggers automatic screening. See

(e). He is suing his seven criminal defense lawyers under

claiming they violated his constitutional rights. Doc. No. 2. The lawyers, however, are not state actors and Williams has failed to allege that they willfully participated with state actors. See Polk Cty. v. Dodson,

(1981). IT IS SO ORDERED this 19th day of August, 2021.
