How courts have described this case

Verbatim parenthetical descriptions written by other courts when citing this decision. Ranked by citation-network relevance.

• rejecting argument that “authori- tative effect” of previous IFP determination constituted improper use of res judicata, noting “the record shows no merit to [plaintiff’s] claim that those determinations were made on the merits of his claim rather than on his state of indigency”
• noting the Eleventh Circuit had previously “upheld dismissal of a § 1983 claim of a prisoner who professed to have no money in his prison accounts, which in fact contained thirty cents, and who had a history of manipulating his accounts to support claims of indigency”
• “The clear pattern of attempts to 9 deceive the courts . . . in this and other cases justifies the district court’s imposition of the severe sanction of dismissal with prejudice.”
• courts previously had found plaintiff’s affidavits of poverty to be false
