Plaintiff offers to evidence or authority to rebut the Magistrate Judge’s proper conclusion that Plaintiff is prohibited by 28 U.S.C. § 1915(g) from proceeding in forma pauperis in this case because three of his prior complaints were dismissed for failure to state a claim upon which relief may be granted, and because he has not established particular facts showing that he is under imminent danger of serious physical injury.
