UNITED STATES DISTRICT COURT

EASTERN DISTRICT OF CALIFORNIA

Plaintiff Eddie L. Young (“Plaintiff”), a state prisoner proceeding pro se, filed this civil action 

on August 9, 2016. That same day, he also filed a motion for leave to proceed in forma pauperis.

Plaintiff is subject to 28 U.S.C. § 1915(g), which provides that “[i]n no event shall a prisoner 

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

incarcerated or detained in any 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.”1

The Court takes judicial notice of the following cases: Young v. Riley, 2:02-cv-2297-LKK-DAD, 

Doc. 53 (collecting previously dismissed cases); Young v. Holguin, 1:06-cv-770-LJO-DLB, Doc. 18 

(same); and Young v. Parks, 2:09-cv-336-GEB-GGH, Doc. 15 (same).

The Court has reviewed Plaintiff’s complaint and his allegations do not satisfy the imminent 

danger exception to section 1915(g). Andrews v. Cervantes, 493 F.3d 1047, 1055-56 (9th Cir. 2007). 

Plaintiff makes no allegations concerning any imminent danger of serious physical injury. Therefore, 

Plaintiff has not satisfied the exception from the three strikes bar under 28 U.S.C. § 1915(g), and must 

pay the $400.00 filing fee if he wishes to litigate this claim. 

Accordingly, the Court HEREBY ORDERS as follows:

1. Plaintiff’s motion for leave to proceed in forma pauperis (Doc. 2) is DENIED; and,

2. This action is DISMISSED without prejudice to re-filing accompanied by the $400.00 

filing fee. 

IT IS SO ORDERED.
