CompI. 3. Moment states that he was told that this issue was not "grievable" in an ARP. Id.
Further, he avers that nobody would sign his second ARP request. Id.

As relief, Moment

requests a hearing and $7 million. Id.
Moment has accumulated "three strikes" under the provisions of the Prison Litigation
Reform Act, 28 U.S.C.

S

1915(g), and is barred from filing cases unless he pays the filing fee or

demonstrates that he is in "imminent danger of serious physical injury." Id; see also Moment v.

Moment v. Mortel, Civil Action No. 'PWG-16-3966 (assigning Moment's first

"strike" under 28 U.S.C.

Moment's allegations fail to suggest that he i~ in imminent danger of serious physical
injury, and he is therefore not excused him from paying the $400.00 filing fee. Accordingly, this
case will be dismissed without prejudice pursuant to 28 U.S.c.
