UNITED STATES DISTRICT COURT

EASTERN DISTRICT OF CALIFORNIA

ADONAI EL-SHADDAI, aka JAMES R.

WILKERSON, an individual,

Plaintiff,

v.

ROBERT DOYLE, COMMISSIONER,

BOARD OF PAROLE HEARINGS, et al.,

Defendants.

 /

CASE NO. 1:10-cv-01159-OWW-SMS

ORDER DIRECTING PLAINTIFF

TO SUBMIT FILING FEE

(Doc. 1)

Plaintiff Adonai El-Shaddai, a/k/a James R. Wilkerson, is a prisoner proceeding pro se 1

in this civil rights action pursuant to 42 U.S.C. § 1983. Plaintiff filed the complaint on June 30,

2010 (Doc. 1), but neither paid the $350.00 filing fee nor filed an application to proceed in forma

pauperis. If Plaintiff fails to submit the filing fee in full within fourteen days from the date of

service of this order, the Court will dismiss this action. 

 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 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 injury.” 28 U.S.C. §

Although Plaintiff consistently uses the name, Adonai El-Shaddai, this Court has previously experienced

1

problems with prison mail delivery in the absence of Plaintiff’s former name, James R. Wilkerson, which is the name

on record with the California Department of Corrections and Rehabilitation. To ensure timely delivery of

correspondence to Plaintiff, the Court includes both names in the caption of this matter.

1915(g). Plaintiff has previously filed three or more actions that were dismissed as frivolous, as

malicious, or for failing to state a claim upon which relief may be granted. See El-Shaddai v.

Woodford (E.D.Cal. June 18, 2009)(2:08-cv-02429-EFS); Wilkerson v. Prunty (S.D.Cal. October

28, 1997)(Civ. 96-1222B (CGA)). Thus, Plaintiff is subject to 28 U.S.C. § 1915(g) and is

precluded from proceeding in forma pauperis unless he is in imminent danger of serious physical

injury. Plaintiff has not alleged any facts alleging that he is in imminent danger of serious

physical injury. Because Plaintiff is ineligible to proceed in forma pauperis, Plaintiff may not

submit an application to proceed in forma pauperis in response to this order. 

Accordingly, the Court hereby ORDERS that:

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

pauperis in the instant action;

2. Plaintiff shall submit the $350.00 filing fee in full within fourteen (14) days from

the date of service of this order; and

3. If Plaintiff fails to pay the $350.00 filing fee in full within fourteen (14) days, this

action shall be dismissed, without prejudice.

IT IS SO ORDERED.

Dated: July 2, 2010 /s/ Oliver W. Wanger
