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 alleges that on June 3, 2015, he refused to go into his cell and in response a correctional 

officer took hold of his right arm, bent it behind him, and forced him into his cell, causing an injury. 

Plaintiff further alleges that he requested medical care and was provided a sick form. These 

allegations do not demonstrate any imminent or ongoing danger of serious physical harm at the time 

he lodged his complaint, nearly a month after this apparently isolated incident, from which he 

describes no continuing harm. Therefore, Plaintiff must pay the $400.00 filing fee if he wishes to 

litigate this claim. 

Accordingly, the Court HEREBY ORDERS as follows:

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

fee. 

IT IS SO ORDERED.
