Gerald Perry v. John Holmes
Gerald Perry v. John Holmes
Opinion
Gerald Allen Perry, Texas prisoner # 644896, has been barred from proceeding in forma pauperis (IFP) under 28 U.S.C. § 1915(g) because, on at least three prior occasions while incarcerated, he has brought an action or appeal in a court of the United States that was dismissed as frivolous or for failure to state a claim upon which relief could be granted. See Perry v. Johnson, No. 5:01-CV-00165 (E.D.Tex. July 31, 2003) (unpublished); Perry v. Holmes, 152 Fed.Appx. 404 (5th Cir. 2005) (unpublished). Furthermore, Perry has not alleged that he is “under imminent danger of serious physical injury.” § 1915(g). Thus, the district court improvidently granted Perry leave to proceed IFP on appeal.
Accordingly, Perry’s IFP status is de-certified, and the appeal is dismissed. Perry has 15 days from the date of this opinion to pay the full appellate filing fee to the clerk of the district court, should he wish to reinstate his appeal. Perry’s request for the production of transcripts at government expense is denied.
IFP DECERTIFIED; APPEAL DISMISSED; MOTION FOR TRANSCRIPTS AT GOVERNMENT EXPENSE DENIED.
Pursuant to 5th Cir. R. 47.5, the court has determined that this opinion should not be published and is not precedent except under the limited circumstances set forth in 5th Cir. R. 47.5.4.
