                        ORDER
     Echo Westley Dixon moves for leave to proceed in
 forma pauperis. Dixon also moves to supplement his
 informal brief.
     Dixon is currently incarcerated. Pursuant to the
 Prison Litigation Reform Act (PLRA), a prisoner is barred
 from proceeding in forma pauperis if three or more prior

 actions or appeals have been dismissed as frivolous or
 malicious or for failure to state a claim. Section 1915(g) of
 28 U.S.C. states:
     In no event shall a prisoner bring a civil action or
     appeal a judgment in a civil action or proceeding
     under this section if the prisoner has, on 3 or
     more prior occasions, while incarcerated or de-
     tained in any facility, brought an action or appeal
     in a court of the United States that was dismissed
     on the grounds that it is frivolous, malicious, or
     fails to sate a claim upon which relief may be
     granted, unless the prisoner is under imminent
     danger of serious physical injury.
 28 U.S.C. § 1915(g).
      The court notes that three or more actions or appeals
 filed by Dixon have been dismissed as frivolous, mali-
 cious, or for failure to state a claim. See Dixon v. Grant,
 No. 08-CV-7364, ECF No. 16, 17 (S.D.N.Y. Feb. 17, 2010).
 Moreover, Dixon has not suggested that he is in imminent
 danger of serious physical injury. Thus, Dixon is barred
 by statute from proceeding in forma pauperis in this
 appeal. See 28 U.S.C. § 1915(g).
     Accordingly,
     IT IS ORDERED THAT:
    (1) If Dixon does not pay the $ 505 filing fee within 30
 days of the date of this order, his appeal will be dismissed.
    (2) Dixon’s motion to supplement his informal brief is
 granted.
