Liggins #147829 v. Madden et al

UNITED STATES DISTRICT COURT
WESTERN DISTRICT OF MICHIGAN
SOUTHERN DIVISION
HENRY T. LIGGINS,
Plaintiff,
v.
STEPHEN D. MADDEN, et al.,
Defendants.
____________________________/
Case No. 1:25-cv-1130
Hon. Hala Y. Jarbou
ORDER
On October 20, 2025, Magistrate Judge Vermaat issued a report and recommendation that
Henry Liggins’s application to proceed in forma pauperis be denied because he has accumulated
three “strikes” (dismissals of frivolous or inadequate claims), triggering the filing restriction
codified in 28 U.S.C. § 1915(g). (R&R, ECF No. 5). The R&R was duly served on Liggins, and
he lodged no objection to it within the fourteen-day window provided for by Fed. R. Civ. P. 72(b).
On review, the Court concludes that the R&R correctly determined that Liggins is ineligible to
proceed in forma pauperis and that dismissal without prejudice is appropriate. Accordingly,
IT IS ORDERED that the R&R (ECF No. 5) is APPROVED and ADOPTED as the
opinion of the Court.
IT IS FURTHER ORDERED that Liggins’s application to proceed in forma pauperis
(ECF No. 2) is DENIED.
A judgment will issue in accordance with this Order.
