Entry Directing Dismissal of Action
The plaintiff’s complaint is accompanied by his request to proceed in forma
pauperis. As noted in Parks v. State of Indiana, 1:08-cv-0358-LJM-WTL (S.D.Ind.
March 27, 2008), Parks has “struck out” under 28 U.S.C. §1915. This renders him
ineligible to proceed in forma pauperis. These circumstances trigger the rule of
Sloan v. Lesza, 181 F.3d 857, 859 (7th Cir. 1999), which states:
An effort to bamboozle the court by seeking permission to proceed in
forma pauperis after a federal judge has held that §1915(g) applies to a
particular litigant will lead to immediate termination of the suit.
Accordingly, Parks’ application to proceed in forma pauperis [2] is denied and this
action is dismissed without prejudice.
Judgment consistent with this Entry shall now issue.
IT IS SO ORDERED.
