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

injury.”2 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). Therefore, Plaintiff must pay the $400.00 filing fee if he wishes to litigate his 

claim. 

Accordingly, the Court HEREBY ORDERS as follows: 

1. Plaintiff’s motion for leave to proceed in forma pauperis in this action is DENIED;

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

$400.00 filing fee; and

3. The Clerk of the Court shall enter judgment.

IT IS SO ORDERED.

MJS (E.D.Cal.) (dismissed May 30, 2014, for failure to state a claim). These strikes were final prior to the date 

Plaintiff filed this action. Silva v. Di Vittorio, 658 F.3d 1090, 1098-1100 (9th Cir. 2011).

Plaintiff is suing California State Prison-Corcoran Warden Connie Gipson, President Barack Obama, the United 

States District Court for the Eastern District of California, and the Federal Bureau of Investigation. (Comp., p. 4.) 

Plaintiff’s claim arises out of his dissatisfaction with the responses he has received to his other civil cases, and he 

seeks review of his “Enemy Combatant Status Review Tribunal Determination in the U.S. Court of Appeals for the 

D.C. Circuit;” review of his amended complaint in case number 1:14-cv-00042-LJO-JLT Hubbard v. Gipson and the 

relief sought therein; and further justice as the D.C. Circuit deems necessary. (Id., p. 5.) An amended complaint 

bearing the case number “1:14cv00042-JLT-AWI” is attached to Plaintiff’s complaint as an exhibit. (Id., pp. 6-24.)
