Docket No. | Op. Below | Argument | Opinion | Vote | Author | Term |
---|---|---|---|---|---|---|
13-1333 | 6th Cir. | Feb 23, 2015 | May 18, 2015 | 9-0 | Breyer | OT 2014 |
Holding: The “three strikes” provision of the Prison Litigation Reform Act prevents a court from granting in forma pauperis status to a prisoner who “has, on three or more prior occasions, while incarcerated . . . , brought an action or appeal in a court of the United States that was dismissed on the grounds that it is frivolous, malicious, or fails to state a claim upon which relief may be granted.” A prior dismissal on one of the provision’s statutorily enumerated grounds counts as a strike, even if the dismissal is the subject of an ongoing appeal.
Judgment: Affirmed, 9-0, in an opinion by Justice Breyer on May 18, 2015.

Check out the latest Relist Watch from @johnpelwood.
TEN new relists -- including 6 involving Pres. Trump/Trump Admin initiatives that strangely skipped the Jan. 15 conference: Emoluments Clause suits, Public Charge Rule, Title X abortion/counseling rule.
