ORDER & REASONS denying 1 Motion for Leave to Proceed in forma pauperis. Signed by Magistrate Judge Alma L. Chasez on 9/23/2013. (clm, )
UNITED STATES DISTRICT COURT
EASTERN DISTRICT OF LOUISIANA
PERCY M. TAYLOR
CIVIL ACTION
VERSUS
NO. 13-5854
PAUL CONNICK, JR., ET AL.
SECTION “F” (5)
ORDER AND REASONS
The plaintiff, Percy Taylor, is incarcerated in the Elayn Hunt Correctional Center. He
submitted this pro se complaint pursuant to Title 42 U.S.C. § 1983 against numerous individuals
involved in his 24th J.D.C. criminal proceedings, alleging conspiracy and a fraudulent scheme in
connection with waiver of rights forms. (Rec. Doc. #1, Complaint, p. 5). He seeks monetary
compensation and injunctive relief. With his complaint, Taylor filed an application to proceed in
forma pauperis pursuant to 28 U.S.C. § 1915. This is a non-dispositive pretrial matter which was
referred to the undersigned United States Magistrate Judge pursuant to Local Rule 72.1E(b)(1) and
28 U.S.C. § 636(b).
The Prison Litigation Reform Act of 1996, Pub. L. No. 104-134, 110 Stat. 1321, now
codified at Title 28 U.S.C. § 1915(g), provides that a prisoner shall not be allowed to bring a civil
action pursuant to § 1915 if he has, on three 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 as
frivolous, malicious, or for failure to state a claim for which relief can be granted, unless the prisoner
is under imminent danger of serious physical injury.
Taylor is a frequent litigant in this court. He has submitted numerous pro se and in forma
pauperis civil rights complaints in this district while he was incarcerated. The court’s records
establish that at least four of Taylor’s prior complaints were dismissed as frivolous and/or for failure
to state a claim. Those prior actions include: Taylor v. Yanter, Civil Action No. 96-2367 “F”(5)
(E.D. La.); Taylor v. Shane Head, et al., 02-3001 c/w 02-3421 “I”(5) (E.D. La.); Taylor v. J.P.S.O.
Narcotics Division, Civil Action No. 03-647 "C"(1) (E.D. La.); Taylor v. Jefferson Parish District
Attorney’s Office, Civil Action No. 04-165 “C”(4) (E.D. La.). Plaintiff’s current claims do not
involve imminent danger to his physical safety. For the foregoing reasons,
IT IS ORDERED that the plaintiff’s motion to proceed in forma pauperis is DENIED
pursuant to Title 28 U.S.C. § 1915(g).
