Perry v. United States
Opinion
ORDER
Mr. Gerald Allen Perry is incarcerated. He filed an appeal in this court and previously requested to proceed in forma pau-peris. That request was denied by an order dated November 27, 2013. In that order, the court directed the custodian of Mr. Perry’s prison account to forward the filing fee to the court to be paid in installments in accordance with 28 U.S.C. § 1915.
In a separate paper, Mr. Perry admitted that he has filed four meritless actions in federal court while he has been incarcerated. Given this litigation history, the law is clear that Mr. Perry “shall” not bring “a civil action or appeal a judgment in a civil action or proceeding under [§ 1915]” unless he “is under imminent danger of serious physical injury.” 28 U.S.C. § 1915(g).
We have considered Mr. Perry’s statement that he is in such imminent danger, but find it without merit. Accordingly, Mr. Perry does not qualify to proceed under § 1915. The November 27, 2013 order of the court is amended to the extent that it authorized him to cover the filing fee through a statutory payment plan. We are without authority to consider Mr. Per *1011 ry’s appeal without the full payment of his filing fee.
Upon consideration thereof,
It Is Ordered That:
Mr. Perry’s appeal is dismissed for failure to pay the proper filing fee.
