UNITED STATES DISTRICT COURT FOR THE NORTHERN DISTRICT OF OHIO WESTERN DIVISION

Robert Martin, Case No. 3:19-cv-1420

Plaintiff

v. MEMORANDUM OPINION AND ORDER John Doe Cashier, et al.,

Defendants

This is another in forma pauperis civil action filed pro se by state prisoner Robert Martin. In this action, Martin purports to sue “John & Jane Doe Cashiers and Health Care Administrators” and “Mrs. Reef.” (Doc. No. 1.) Under

(g), a prisoner is prohibited from proceeding in forma pauperis in federal court if he has, on three or more prior occasions while incarcerated, brought an action or appeal in federal court that was dismissed on the grounds that it was frivolous, malicious, or failed to state a claim upon which relief may be granted, unless the prisoner demonstrates that he was in “imminent danger of serious physical injury” at the time he filed his complaint.

(g); Taylor v. First Medical Management,

,

, at *3 (6th Cir. 2012). Martin is a frequent, frivolous filer in federal court and has clearly been notified that the three-strikes rule applies to him. See, e.g., Martin v. Dr. Grandson, et al., No. 1: 18 CV 2383 (N.D. Ohio Dec. 21, 2018) (Boyko, J.); Martin v. PNC Capital Investment Advisors, et al., No. 1: 16 CV 1828 draw a reasonable inference that he was under an existing danger of serious physical injury at the time he filed his complaint in this case. Accordingly, Martin’s application for leave to proceed in forma pauperis (Doc. No. 2) is denied

and this action is dismissed without prejudice in accordance with

(g). If Martin wishes to re-file this case, he must pay the full filing fee of $400 and a Motion to Re-Open within 30 days of the date of this Order. The Clerk’s Office is directed not to accept a Motion to Re-Open unless it is accompanied by the full filing fee. No other documents will be accepted for filing unless the entire filing fee is paid and the Motion to Re-Open is granted. I further certify, pursuant to

(a)(3), that an appeal from this decision could not be taken in good faith. So Ordered.
