UNITED STATES DISTRICT COURT

EASTERN DISTRICT OF CALIFORNIA

WILLIE WEAVER,

Plaintiff,

v.

CALIFORNIA CORRECTIONAL 

INSTITUTION, et al.,

Defendants.

 /

1:07-cv-01297-AWI-SMS-PC 

ORDER FINDING PLAINTIFF INELIGIBLE

TO PROCEED IN FORMA PAUPERIS AND

REQUIRING PLAINTIFF TO PAY $350.00

FILING FEE WITHIN THIRTY DAYS OR

THIS ACTION WILL BE DISMISSED

 

 Willie Weaver (“Plaintiff”) is a state prisoner proceeding pro se in this civil rights action

filed pursuant to 42 U.S.C. § 1983. Plaintiff has not paid the $350.00 filing fee or submitted an

application to proceed in forma pauperis pursuant to 28 U.S.C. § 1915(g).

The Prison Litigation Reform Act provides that “[i]n no event shall a prisoner bring a

civil action . . . under this section if the prisoner has, on 3 or more occasions, while incarcerated

or detained in a facility, brought an action or appeal in a court of the United States that was

dismissed on the ground 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 injury.” 28 U.S.C. §

1915(g). 

This plaintiff has, on 3 prior occasions, brought civil actions challenging the conditions of

his confinement. All three action were dismissed as frivolous, or for failure to state a claim upon

which relief can be granted. Plaintiff is therefore not entitled to proceed in forma pauperis

1

unless he alleges facts indicating that he is in imminent danger of serious physical injury.

The court has reviewed plaintiff’s complaint and finds that plaintiff has alleged no facts that

support a finding he is, at this time, under imminent danger of serious physical injury. 

Accordingly, plaintiff may not proceed in forma pauperis, and must submit the appropriate filing

fee in order to proceed with this action. 

Based on the foregoing, it is HEREBY ORDERED that:

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

pauperis in this action; and

2. Plaintiff shall pay the $350.00 filing fee in full within thirty (30) days or this

action will be dismissed, without prejudice.

IT IS SO ORDERED.
