March 23, 2021 Opinion or Order Filing 7 Order Denying Motion to Reconsider and Dismissing Action - Plaintiff Dale Griffin filed a civil rights complaint on February 18, 2021, and moved for leave to proceed in forma pauperis. Dkts. 1-2. The Court denied his motion, advising him that he was ineligible to proceed in forma pauperis because he had accumulated three "strikes" under 28 U.S.C. 1915(g). Dkt. 5. The Court allowed Mr. Griffin through March 12, 2021, in which to pay the $402.00 filing fee. Mr. Griffin filed a motion to reconsider, dkt. #6 , asking the Court to waive the filing fee because he does not have sufficient funds to pay it. Mr. Griffin does not argue that he should be allowed to proceed in forma pauperis despite his strikes due to being "under imminent danger of serious physical injury." 28 U.S.C. 1915(g). The "imminent danger" provision of 1915(g) is the only exception to the in forma pauperis ban, and this Court does not have the authority to create another exception. Accordingly, the motion to reconsider, dkt. #6 , is denied, and this action is dismissed for failure to pay the filing fee. Judgment consistent with this Order shall now issue. (Copy to Plaintiff via U.S. mail) Signed by Judge James R. Sweeney II on 3/23/2021. (JDC)
