Rucker v. Vatican Bank
Opinion
ORDER AND JUDGMENT *
Matthew Rucker, a prisoner housed at the Larned Correctional Mental Health Facility, seeks leave from this court to proceed in forma pauperis and to appeal the district court’s dismissal of his complaint as legally frivolous. We do not see how we can. Even if we were to grant his motion and reach the merits of his appeal, Mr. Rucker has failed to identify any reasoned basis for reversing the district court’s order. The district court’s order is affirmed and the appeal is dismissed. We further note that the district court’s dismissal is Mr. Rucker’s third strike under 28 U.S.C. § 1915(g), restricting any future actions brought under that section. Mr. Rucker’s in forma pauperis motion is denied. He is reminded that he is obliged to pay the filing fee in full.
After examining the briefs and appellate record, this panel has determined unanimously that oral argument would not materially assist in the determination of this appeal. See Fed. R.App. P. 34(a)(2); 10th Cir. R. 34.1(G). The case is therefore ordered submitted without oral argument. This order is not binding precedent except under the doctrines of law of the case, res judicata and collateral estop-pel. It may be cited, however, for its persuasive value consistent with Fed. R.App. P. 32.1 and 10th Cir. R. 32.1.
