February 4, 2026 Filing 4 Judge Richard G. Stearns: ELECTRONIC ORDER entered - The motion for leave to proceed in forma pauperis #2 is DENIED with prejudice and this action is DISMISSED with prejudice. Pro se plaintiff David Lettieri is a "three strikes" litigant (meaning, while incarcerated, he has filed three or more cases dismissed for as malicious or frivolous or for failure to state a claim upon which relief may be granted) and therefore cannot proceed without prepayment of the $405 filing fee unless he shows that he is in "imminent danger of serious physical injury" with regard to the alleged misconduct. See 28 U.S.C. 1915(g). This action concerns a December 7, 2024 disciplinary report that Lettieri failed to "stand count." Lettieri alleges that the report was false, and, although the complaint is not entirely clear, Lettieri seems to allege that after a disciplinary hearing, the matter was dismissed in Lettieri's favor. Nothing in the complaint suggests that the defendant's issuance of an allegedly false disciplinary report in November 2024 currently places Lettieri in imminent danger of serious physical injury, notwithstanding his generalized reference to subsequent unspecified false reports which led to disciplinary segregation where he did not receive adequate medical care. The court certifies that, because of Lettieri's continued practice of filing non-habeas actions without paying the filing fee or setting forth a non-frivolous basis why the "three strikes" rule does not bar him from proceeding in forma pauperis, any appeal of this order would not be taken in good faith. See 28 U.S.C. 1915(a)(3).(MZ)
