COURT IMPOSED party sanctions against Benny R. Odem Jr.. Reason: The district courts dismissal of Odems civil action as frivolous and for failure to state a claim and this courts dismissal of this appeal as frivolous count as strikes under 28 U.S.C. 1915(g). See Adepegba v. Hammons, 103 F.3d 383, 388 (5th Cir. 1996), abrogated in part on other grounds by Coleman v. Tollefson, 575 U.S. 532, 537 (2015). Odem has previously received at least one strike under 1915(g). See Odem v. Odom, No. 1:20-CV-00042 (N.D. Tex. Aug. 22, 2022). Because Odem now has at least three strikes, he is BARRED from proceeding IFP in any civil action or appeal filed in a court of the United States while he is incarcerated or detained in any facility unless he is under imminent danger of serious physical injury. See 28 U.S.C. 1915(g). He is WARNED that any pending or future frivolous or repetitive filings in this court or any court subject to this courts jurisdiction may subject him to additional sanctions, and he is DIRECTED to review all pending matters and move to dismiss any that are frivolous, repetitive, or otherwise abusive.
