UNITED STATES DISTRICT COURT

NORTHERN DISTRICT OF CALIFORNIA

STEVEN WAYNE BONILLA,

Plaintiff,

v.

CALIFORNIA SUPREME COURT'S 

POLICIES,

Defendant.

Case No. 17-cv-00531-VC (PR)

ORDER OF DISMISSAL WITH 

PREJUDICE

Plaintiff Steven Wayne Bonilla, a state inmate, has filed a pro se civil action under 42 

U.S.C. § 1983 against California Supreme Court “Policies.” Bonilla has been disqualified from 

proceeding in forma pauperis under 28 U.S.C. § 1915(g) unless he is “under imminent danger 

of serious physical injury” at the time he filed his complaint. 28 U.S.C. 1915(g); In re Steven 

Bonilla, No. C 11-3180 CW (PR); Bonilla v. Dawson, No. C 13-0951 CW (PR). 

The allegations in this complaint do not show that Bonilla was in imminent danger at the 

time of filing. Therefore, he may not proceed in forma pauperis. Moreover, even if the IFP 

application were granted, his lawsuit would be barred under Heck v. Humphrey, 512 U.S. 477, 

486-87 (1994). Accordingly, the case is dismissed with prejudice.

The Clerk shall enter a separate judgment and close the case.

IT IS SO ORDERED.

Dated:
