Mack v. Barnett

¶1 Donald Edward Mack, Texas prisoner #391890, moves for in forma pauperis (IFP) status to appeal the district court’s dismissal of his 42 U.S.C. § 1983 complaint on the basis of the three-strikes bar in 28 U.S.C. § 1915(g). However, as there is no timely notice of appeal in this case, this court lacks jurisdiction to consider Mack’s § 1983 claims. See Bowles v. Russell, — U.S. -, 127 S.Ct. 2360, 2366, 168 L.Ed.2d 96 (2007). Accordingly, this case is DISMISSED with prejudice. Mack’s motions for IFP status and for appointment of counsel are DENIED.
