Further, "repeated and knowing violations of Federal Rule of Civil Procedure 8(a)'s 'short and plain statement' requirement are strikes as 'fail[ures] to state a claim,' 28 U.S.C. 1915(g), when the opportunity to correct the pleadings has been afforded and there has been no modification within a reasonable time."
