March 25, 2021 Filing 7 Filed district court order dated 03/23/2021, The Court has reviewed the February 10, 2021, motion for proceed on appeal in forma pauperis, and finds that Mr. Kelly does not have the assets or means to pay even an initial partial filing fee. Therefore, pursuant to 28 U.S.C. 1915(b)(4), Mr. Kelly is granted a WAIVER of payment of the initial partial filing fee. [7] [7149706] [21-1273] (CM) [Entered: 03/25/2021 09:43 AM]
March 23, 2021 Opinion or Order Filing 6 ORDER re: 1. Petitioner's Motion for Leave to Proceed on Appeal In Forma Pauperis. [ # 4 ] 2. Memorandum in Support of PLRA Motion for Leave to Proceed on Appeal In Forma Pauperis. Upon consideration of the request for leave to proceed as a pauper on appeal, the appellants motions filed under Federal Rule of Appellate Procedure 24, the district courts order certifying that the appellant was not eligible for pauper status on appeal, and the record on appeal, this court has determined that the district court erred in concluding that appellant has accrued three strikes under 28 U.S.C. 1915(g). Of the six prior cases cited by the district court, only two count as strikes under 1915(g). See Kelly v. Witty, Case No. 1:17-cv-989-TWP-DML (S.D. Ind. July 26, 2017) (dismissed for failure to state a claim) and Kelly v. Zoley, Case No. 1:17-cv-598-WTL-MPB (S.D. Ind. July 25, 2017) (same). The district court should not have assessed strikes for Kelly v. Anderson, Case No. 3:01-cv-202-RLM (N.D. Ind. July 24, 2001), Kelly v. Debruyn, Case No. 3:95-cv-525-RLM-RDP (Mar. 7, 1996), Kelly v. Farley, Case No. 3:94-cv-532-RLM (N.D. Ind. Dec. 13, 1994), or Kelly v. Nunn, Case No. 3:93-cv-263-RDP (N.D. Ind. Sep. 22, 1994), because none was dismissed in its entirety based on grounds enumerated under 1915(g). See Turley v. Gaetz, 625 F.3d 1005, 1012 (7th Cir. 2010). Appellant may also be able to raise a nonfrivolous argument that the district court erred in entering judgment on his claim against Loretta Dawson. Accordingly, the motion for leave to proceed on appeal in forma pauperis is GRANTED. The district court is instructed to assess an initial partial filing fee for the appeal and to notify this court when the partial fee has been collected.
