PER CURIAM.
Arkansas inmate Frederick Pennington, Jr., appeals the district court’s1 orders
revoking his in forma pauperis (IFP) status under 28 U.S.C. § 1915(g) and dismissing
his 42 U.S.C. § 1983 lawsuit when he failed to pay the full filing fee. We rescind the
grant of IFP status on appeal, and dismiss the appeal because Pennington is three-
strikes barred and the record does not show that he was in imminent danger of serious
physical injury at the time this appeal was filed. See 28 U.S.C. § 1915(g) (in no event
shall prisoner bring appeal if he has, on three or more prior occasions while
imprisoned, brought action or appeal that was dismissed on grounds that it was
frivolous, malicious, or failed to state claim, unless inmate is under imminent danger
of serious physical injury); Martin v. Shelton,
319 F.3d 1048, 1050 (8th Cir. 2003)
(requisite imminent danger must exist at time appeal is filed). We also deny all
pending motions.
