MIDDLE DISTRICT OF LOUISIANA

1 The plaintiff is advised that 28 U.S.C. § 1915(g) provides that, “In no event shall a prisoner bring a civil action
or appeal a judgment in a civil action or proceeding under this section [Proceedings 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.”
