MARTINEZ v. COOPER et al

1
IN THE UNITED STATES DISTRICT COURT FOR THE
NORTHERN DISTRICT OF FLORIDA
TALLAHASSEE DIVISION
JOSHUA ISAAC MARTINEZ,
Plaintiff,
v. Case No. 4:26-cv-9-AW-MJF
OFFICER COOPER, et al.,
Defendants.
_______________________________/
ORDER OF DISMISSAL
The magistrate judge recommends dismissal under 28 U.S.C. § 1915(g)
because Plaintiff is a three-striker who has not alleged “imminent danger of serious
physical injury.” ECF No. 4. In his objections, ECF No. 5, Plaintiff acknowledges
he is a three-striker. He says he attempts to meet the imminent-danger standard, id.
at 3, but he has not done so. Having carefully considered the matter de novo, I now
adopt the report and recommendation and incorporate it into this order.
The motion for leave to proceed in forma pauperis (ECF No. 2) is DENIED.
The clerk will enter a judgment that says, “This case is dismissed without prejudice
pursuant to 28 U.S.C. § 1915(g) because Plaintiff has three strikes and has not paid
the filing fee or shown imminent danger of serious physical injury.”
The clerk will then close the file.
