Is Section 1915(g) of the Criminal Code of the United States sufficient to prevent a defendant from proceeding in forma pauperis?
MultiRegion, United States of America
The following excerpt is from Akassy v. Hardy, 887 F.3d 91 (2nd Cir. 2018):
Akassy's contention that the restrictions imposed by 1915(g) violate his constitutional rights is foreclosed by our decision in Polanco v. Hopkins , 510 F.3d 152, 156 (2d Cir. 2007) (noting that the right to proceed in forma pauperis is a right conferred by statute, not by the Constitution, and holding that 1915(g) neither violates a prisoner's right of access to the courts nor is overbroad).
