No. 18-31067 and entities, of which this case was one. The order required Phillips-Berry to show cause as to why the court should not restrict her ability to file. In response, she indicated that the defendants have implanted a device in her body to inflict pain. The district court found the basis for her claims to be “incoherent,” prohibited her from further similar filings, and dismissed the case pursuant to 28 U.S.C. § 1915 (e)(2)(B)(i). Phillips-Berry timely appealed to this court.
Although we do not doubt the sincerity of Phillips-Berry in explaining her concerns, we conclude that the district court’s order should be affirmed for substantially the same reasons set forth in its September 18, 2018 order.
AFFIRMED.
