IN THE UNITED STATES DISTRICT COURT
EASTERN DISTRICT OF ARKANSAS
WESTERN DIVISION
LEODIS RANDLE

v.

PLAINTIFF
No. 4:18-cv-126-DPM

BARRY SIMS and GENISE-KEY

DEFENDANTS

ORDER

Randle hasn't paid the filing and administrative fees in this case.
And a motion to proceed in forma pauperis would be futile because
Randle is a three-striker. Before filing this lawsuit, he'd had at least
three cases dismissed for failing to state a claim. E.g., Randle v. Peters,
et al., No. 4:14-cv-280-BRW; Randle v. Hall, et al., No. 4:14-cv-357-JLH;
Randle v. Arkansas, et al., No. 4:17-cv-291-BSM. And though Randle says

he was previously assaulted, his new complaint doesn't show that he
was in imminent danger of serious physical injury at the time he filed
suit. 28 U.S.C. § 1915(g); McAlphin v. Toney, 281 F.3d 709, 711 (8th Cir.
2002). His complaint will therefore be dismissed without prejudice.
If Randle wants to pursue this case, then he must pay $400 (the

filing and administrative fees) and file a motion to reopen the case by
16 March 2018.

An in forma pauperis appeal from this Order and

accompanying Judgment will not be taken in good faith. 28 U.S.C. §
1915(a)(3).

So Ordered.
