Court: 6th Circuit Court (Published Opinions)

Attorneys 1: ON BRIEF: Christine A. Monta, RODERICK & SOLANGE MACARTHUR JUSTICE CENTER, Washington, D.C., for Appellant.

Judge(s): CLAY, GILMAN, and BLOOMEKATZ, Circuit Judges

Court Appealed: United States District Court for the Western District of Michigan at Marquette

BLOOMEKATZ, Circuit Judge. Davariol Marquavis Taylor sued several members of the correctional staff at the Marquette Branch Prison (MBP) and moved to proceed in forma pauperis. The district court denied his motion under the Prison Litigation Reform Act’s (PLRA) “three-strikes” rule, and then dismissed his suit. But Taylor has only two PLRA “strikes,” not three. So we vacate and remand.
