Moore v. Maricopa County Sheriff's Office, No. 10-16736 (9th Cir. 2011)
Annotate this CasePlaintiff, a frequent filer of lawsuits and indigent, sought money damages and other relief against defendant resulting from an alleged mistreatment of plaintiff when he was a prisoner. Plaintiff appealed the district court's denial of plaintiff's in forma pauperis status. As a preliminary matter, the court held that because the underlying substantive claims were not moot and because a ruling in favor of plaintiff would permit those claims to proceed, the court could provide effective relief and the appeal was not moot now that plaintiff was released from jail and was on parole. The court held that because only two of the four dismissals identified by the district court qualified as "strikes" under 28 U.S.C. 1915(g), the court reversed and remanded for further proceedings.
