PER CURIAM.
In this prisoner civil rights matter, Jacqaus L. Martin appeals the district
court’s1 adverse grant of summary judgment as to certain claims, and its subsequent
adverse grant of judgment on the remaining claims following a bench trial. Martin’s
lawsuit arose from a strip search in May 2000, which he claimed was done without

probable cause and in retaliation for his exercise of his First Amendment rights, and
he also claimed that the search constituted a sexual assault. Having carefully reviewed
the record, we find--and Martin has provided--no basis for reversal.
We note that Martin has been previously determined to have three strikes under
28 U.S.C. § 1915(g), see Martin v. Neb. Dep’t of Corr. Servs., No. 00-2551,
2000 WL
1665076 (8th Cir. Nov. 7, 2000) (unpublished per curiam), but that he has been
permitted under section 1915(g)’s imminent-danger exception to proceed in forma
pauperis (IFP) in the instant lawsuit and appeal, as well as in two other lawsuits and
related appeals, based on his assertions that he is at risk for sexual assaults and
unwarranted strip searches. Because the record in this case and the other two shows
that his assertions are baseless, we alert the district court that, in future cases making
similar claims, Martin ought to be required to demonstrate that he is truly in imminent
danger before being allowed to proceed IFP.
Accordingly, we affirm. See 8th Cir. R. 47B.
