Third Circuit -- Haddrick Byrd v. Robert Shannon

"Three strikes" bar to prisoners' proceeding IFP begins to accrue regardless of whether the prisoner was proceeding IFP in the prior action.

Entire action or appeal must be dismissed to count as a strike.  Circuit split flagged.

Quick dismissal of the claim in the present case (glaucoma eye drops/ 8th amendment)
