UNITED STATES DISTRICT COURT

EASTERN DISTRICT OF CALIFORNIA

CARLOS D. HENDON,

Plaintiff,

v.

BAROYA, et al., 

Defendants.

 /

CASE NO. 1:09-cv-911-MJS (PC)

ORDER DENYING PLAINTIFF IN FORMA

PAUPERIS STATUS AND REQUIRING

PLAINTIFF TO PAY FILING FEE IN FULL

PLAINTIFF MUST PAY $350 FILING FEE

BY AUGUST 31, 2010

Plaintiff Carlos D. Hendon (“Plaintiff”) is a state prisoner proceeding pro se in this

civil rights action pursuant to 42 U.S.C. § 1983. Plaintiff has consented to having a

magistrate judge preside over his case. (ECF No. 11.) 

Plaintiff, an inmate in the custody of the California Department of Corrections and

Rehabilitation, brings this action pursuant to 42 U.S.C. § 1983 against correctional officials

for removing him from suicide watch when he was still a danger to himself. (ECF No. 1 at

3.) The events alleged in the Complaint occurred in 2003; there is no allegation of ongoing

harm. 

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 a facility, brought an action or appeal in a court of the United

States that was dismissed on the ground 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. § 1915(g).

On at least three prior occasions, Plaintiff has brought civil actions challenging the

conditions of his confinement that were dismissed as frivolous or for failure to state a claim

upon which relief can be granted. Hendon v. Witcher, 1:05-cv-1246-AWI-DLB (PC) (E.D.

Cal., dismissed on August 6, 2007); Hendon v. Rogel, 2:05-cv-1063-DFL-PAN (PC) (E.D.

Cal., dismissed on August 28, 2006); Hendon v. White, 2:07-cv-1825-GEB-CMK (PC) (E.D.

Cal., dismissed on February 5, 2008). Plaintiff is therefore not entitled to proceed in forma

pauperis unless he alleges facts indicating that he is in imminent danger of serious physical

injury. There are no such facts alleged in this case.

 On June 9, 2010, the Court ordered Plaintiff to show cause within thirty days why

his request to proceed in forma pauperis should not be denied pursuant to 28 U.S.C. §

1915(g). Plaintiff has not responded to the Court’s order. 

Accordingly, the Court hereby ORDERS that:

1. Pursuant to 28 U.S.C. § 1915(g), Plaintiff shall not be entitled to proceed in forma

pauperis;

2. Plaintiff is directed to submit the $350 filing in full within thirty days of the date

of service of this order. Plaintiff's failure to do so will result in dismissal of this action

pursuant to Local Rule 11-110 for failure to prosecute. 

IT IS SO ORDERED.
