ORDER
DEFENDANTS
1. 	Akins' s application to proceed in forma pauperis, Doc. 1, is
granted, but she must still pay the filing fee over time. 	See Doc. 3 in
Akins 	v. 	Uber 	Technologies, 	Inc., 	No. 4:25-cv-1127-DPM. 	The 	Court
assesses an initial partial filing fee of $10. 	Akins must pay $10 by
10 January 2026. 	And she must pay $10 by the 10th of each following
month until the entire $405 filing fee is paid.
2. 	The 	Court 	must 	screen 	Akins's 	complaint. 	28 	U.S.C.
§ 1915(e)(2). 	As she did in a previous suit, Akins seeks damages by
challenging 	the 	validity of 	her 	March 	2022 	arrest 	and 	subsequent
prosecution. 	Doc . 2 at 2. 	She has sued the same four defendants again.
This 	Court 	dismissed-with 	prejudice - 	her 	civil 	rights 	claims 	as
time-barred and found no sufficient reason supporting equitable tolling

of the limitations period. 	Doc. 29 in Akins v. LL Glenn Plaza Loop, LLC,
No. 4:25-cv-452-DPM (E.D. Ark. 30 October 2025). 	Akins' s attempt to
relitigate 	those 	claims 	in 	a 	new 	case 	is 	barred 	by 	res 	judicata:
the Court's prior Judgment decides the case. 	Elbert v. Carter, 903 F.3d
779, 782 (8th Cir. 2018). 	Akins has appealed this Court's Judgment,
which she had the right to do. 	In due course we will see what the Court
of Appeals decides. 	But Akins' s new complaint will be dismissed as
unnecessary and barred .
So Ordered.
