with an inmate who has attacked him. However, he fails to make the required showing of an imminent danger of serious physical injury. See Baños v. O’Guin, 144 F.3d 883, 884-85 (5th Cir. 1998). Accordingly, Redic has not shown that he is entitled to proceed in forma pauperis (IFP) on appeal. See 28 U.S.C. § 1915(g). Redic’s IFP motion is DENIED, and the appeal is DISMISSED as frivolous. See 5th Cir. R. 42.2.
We remind Redic that, because he has three strikes, he is barred from proceeding IFP in any civil action or appeal filed while he is incarcerated or detained in any facility unless he is under imminent danger of serious physical injury. See 28 U.S.C. § 1915(g). He is also WARNED that any pending or future frivolous or repetitive filings in this court or any court subject to this court’s jurisdiction will subject him to additional sanctions. See Coghlan v. Starkey, 852 F.2d 806, 817 n.21 (5th Cir. 1998).
