his appeal, Mr. Rucker has failed to identify any reasoned basis for reversing the
district court’s order. The district court’s order is affirmed and the appeal is

third strike under 28 U.S.C. § 1915(g), restricting any future actions brought
under that section. Mr. Rucker’s in forma pauperis motion is denied. He is
reminded that he is obliged to pay the filing fee in full.
