MEMORANDUM OPINION Plaintiff, a Virginia inmate, has submitted this action and requested leave to proceed in forma pauperis. The pertinent statute provides: In no event shall a prisoner bring a civil action [in forma pauperis] if the prisoner has, on 3 or more prior occasions, while incarcerated or detained in any facility, brought an action or appeal in a court of the United States that was dismissed on the grounds that it is frivolous, malicious, or fails to state a claim upon which relief may be granted, unless the prisoner is under imminent danger of serious physical injury.

28 U.S.C. § 1915

(g). Plaintiff has at least three other actions or appeals that have been dismissed as frivolous, malicious, or for failure to state a claim. See Jamison v. Robinson, No. 3:23cv346,

2023 WL 3321731

, at *4 (E.D. Va. May 9, 2023). Plaintiff's current complaint does not suggest that he is in imminent danger of serious physical harm.
