July 11, 2012 Opinion or Order Filing 67 MEMORANDUM OPINION - We find that Dawn Balls reckless and feckless course of pro se, in forma pauperis litigation has now run its course since, effective December 21, 2011, Ball has incurred three strikes under 28 U.S.C. §1915(g), and may not ob tain leave to proceed in forma pauperis unless she can demonstrate that she is under imminent danger of serious physical injury. 28 U.S.C. § 1915(g). However, we also conclude that the instant complaint was filed prior to December 21, 2011, and, therefore, is not subject to § 1915(g)s preclusive effect, since these three strikes had not become final at the time this action was commenced.
