PER CURIAM.
Pennsylvania resident Frederick Banks appeals from an order of the District
1
Court dismissing his pro se civil-rights action prior to service. We grant Banks’s
motion to proceed in forma pauperis on appeal. We also affirm the dismissal of his
complaint, see 8th Cir. R. 47A(a), but we modify the filing restriction that the District
Court imposed on Banks to read as follows:
Frederick Banks is hereby enjoined from filing any civil action in the
United States District Court for the Eastern District of Arkansas without
first obtaining leave of that court. In seeking leave to file, Banks must
certify that the claim or claims he wishes to present are new claims
never before raised and disposed of on the merits by any federal court.
Banks must also certify that the claim or claims are not frivolous,
malicious, or brought in bad faith. Additionally, Banks must cite or
affix a copy of this opinion to any motion for leave to file a claim.
Failure to comply strictly with the terms of this injunction will be
sufficient grounds for summarily denying leave to file or dismissing any
action filed.
The judgment is affirmed.
