CASE NO. 1:15 CV 973
JUDGE CHRISTOPHER A. BOYKO

MEMORANDUM OF OPINION
AND ORDER

Pro se Plaintiff Cedric Wayne Bagby is a Texas state prisoner incarcerated in the Texas
Department of Criminal Justice’s William P. Clements Unit in Amarillo, Texas. He brings this
in forma pauperis action against the President of Exxon Mobile Corporation. The Complaint,
which does not set forth coherent allegations, asserts fraud among various companies, “the
banks,” and the Internal Revenue Service.
Pursuant to 28 U.S.C. §1915(g), a prisoner is prohibited from bringing a civil action or
appealing a judgment in a civil action 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 claim upon which relief may be granted, unless the prisoner is under imminent danger of
serious physical injury.” Plaintiff’s allegations do not reasonably suggest he is in imminent

danger of serious physical injury. In addition, he has, on at least five prior occasions while
incarcerated, filed a civil action in federal court that was dismissed as frivolous. See Bagby v.
Staples, No.5:13 CV 1092, 2014 WL 7005587 (W.D. Texas Dec. 10, 2014)(dismissing civil
rights 42 U.S.C. §1983 action brought by the Plaintiff and citing four previous civil actions the
Plaintiff filed in federal courts that were also dismissed as frivolous; Id. at *1, citing Bagby v.
Thaler, 1:12 CV 2001 (District of Columbia); Bagby v. President of Bank of America, 1:13 CV
225 (District of Columbia); Bagby v. Thaler, 2:13 CV 12 (N.D. Tex.-Amarillo Division); and
Bagby v. Fathi, 4:13 CV 598 (S.D. Tex.-Houston Division)). Plaintiff is therefore foreclosed
from proceeding in forma pauperis in this case.
Accordingly, this action is dismissed under 28 U.S.C. §1915(g). The Court further
certifies, pursuant to 28 U.S.C. § 1915(a)(3), that an appeal from this decision could not be
taken in good faith.
IT IS SO ORDERED.
