Charlie Flentroy, Texas prisoner # 1126349, moves for leave to proceed in *359forma pauperis (IFP) to appeal the district court’s dismissal of his 42 U.S.C. § 1983 complaint pursuant to the three-strikes provision of 28 U.S.C. § 1915(g). He also moves for the appointment of appellate counsel.
Our review of the cases relied upon by the district court confirms that Flentroy had at least three prior civil rights complaints or appeals dismissed as frivolous or for failure to state a claim and, thus, he has three strikes. See § 1915(g); Flentroy v. Klock, No. 9:11-cv-5 (E.D. Tex. June 23, 2011); Flentroy v. Oliver, No. 9:11-cv-7 (E.D.Tex. Feb. 8, 2011); Flentroy v. Lamb, No. 9:11-cv21 (E.D.Tex. May 24, 2011); Flentroy v. Lamb, 467 Fed.Appx. 291, 291-92 (5th Cir.2012). Contrary to Flentroy’s assertion, the partial dismissal of his § 1983 complaint as frivolous and for failure to state a claim in Flentroy, No. 9:11-cv-21, counts as a strike. See Adepegba v. Hammons, 103 F.3d 383, 387-88 (5th Cir.1996); Patton v. Jefferson Correctional Center, 136 F.3d 458, 462-63 (5th Cir.1998).
Flentroy has failed to demonstrate that he was under imminent danger of serious physical injury at the time that he sought to file his complaint in the district court, proceed with his appeal, or move to proceed IFP. See § 1915(g); Banos v. O’Guin, 144 F.3d 883, 884 (5th Cir.1998). His allegation that he might be seriously injured at an indefinite point in the future if he has to travel in a Texas Department of Criminal Justice transportation van is insufficient to establish that he was in imminent danger of serious physical injury at the relevant time. See § 1915(g); Banos, 144 F.3d at 884-85.
Thus, Flentroy’s motion for leave to proceed IFP is DENIED. His motion for appointment of counsel also is DENIED. The appeal is DISMISSED as frivolous. See 5th Cir. R. 42.2.
