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 state a claim upon which relief may be granted, unless the

prisoner is under imminent danger of serious physical injury.” Plaintiff has had three or more actions

dismissed as frivolous, as malicious, or for failing to state a claim upon which relief may be granted.1

The Court has reviewed plaintiff’s complaint and finds that plaintiff does not meet the imminent

danger exception. Andrews v. Cervantes, 493 F.3d 1047, 1053 (9th Cir. 2007). Accordingly, IT IS

HEREBY ORDERED that:

1. The Findings and Recommendations, filed February 7, 2008, is adopted in full;

2. Pursuant to 28 U.S.C. § 1915(g), plaintiff is ineligible to proceed in forma pauperis

in this action; and

3. Plaintiff shall pay the $350.00 filing fee in full within thirty (30) days from the date

of service of this order or this action will be dismissed, without prejudice.

IT IS SO ORDERED.
