Weigle recommends that Plaintiff Denver Fenton Allen’s motion to proceed in forma pauperis be denied and that his complaint be dismissed. Doc. 9 at 1, 6. The Magistrate Judge found Allen has filed at least three prior federal law suits that were dismissed as frivolous, malicious, or for failure to state a claim and, accordingly, that the “three strikes provision” of 28 U.S.C. 1915(g) bars him from proceeding IFP. Id. Further, the Magistrate Judge found Allen’s generalized and vague allegations were insufficient to meet the imminent danger exception to the three strikes provision. Id. at 6. Allen objected to the recommendation, but, in that objection, Allen threatened the Court and law enforcement. Doc. 10 at 3. Therefore, the Court informed Allen that his objection would not be considered and ordered him to file a proper objection.1 Doc. 11.

And                                                              1 Allen’s complaint contained similar threats. Doc. 1 at 11. thus, absent a proper objection, the Court has reviewed the Recommendation and accepts the findings, conclusions, and recommendations of the Magistrate Judge. The Recommendation (Doc. 9) is ADOPTED and made the order of this Court. Allen’s motion to proceed IFP (Doc. 2) is DENIED, and his complaint (Doc. 1) is DISMISSED without prejudice. If he wishes to pursue his claim, Allen will need to refile paying the full filing fee.
