ANTONIO LUIS WILLIAMS,

Plaintiff,

v.

W. J. SULLIVAN, et al.,

Defendants.

CASE NO. 1:07-cv-00910-LJO-NEW (DLB) PC

ORDER FINDING PLAINTIFF INELIGIBLE TO

PROCEED IN FORMA PAUPERIS IN THIS

ACTION, AND REQUIRING PLAINTIFF TO

PAY $350.00 FILING FEE IN FULL WITHIN

THIRTY DAYS OR THIS ACTION WILL BE

DISMISSED

Plaintiff Antonio Luis Williams (“plaintiff”) is a state prisoner proceeding pro se in this civil

rights action pursuant to 42 U.S.C. § 1983. Plaintiff filed this action on June 25, 2007. 

28 U.S.C. § 1915 governs proceedings in forma pauperis. Section 1915(g) 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 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

physical injury.” Plaintiff has had three or more actions dismissed as frivolous, as malicious, or for

failing to state a claim upon which relief may be granted. Thus, plaintiff is subject to 28 U.S.C. § 1

1915(g) and is precluded from proceeding in forma pauperis unless plaintiff is, at the time the

complaint is filed, under imminent danger of serious physical injury.

Although plaintiff asserts that he is in imminent danger of harm due to a murder conspiracy,

a review of plaintiff’s complaint reveals that the basis for his claims in this action is alleged mail

tampering. (Doc. 1, Comp., pgs. 3-5.) In the attached exhibits, plaintiff also references the alleged

injection of a diseased agent into his body, and an injury to his arm. (Id., pgs. 5-7.) However, those

events occurred in 2005 and are the basis for his grand jury complaints, which relate to the mail

tampering allegation at issue in his complaint. Because plaintiff has alleged no facts that support a

finding that he is, at this time, under imminent danger of serious physical injury, plaintiff may not

proceed in forma pauperis in this action, and must submit the appropriate filing fee in order to

proceed with this action. 

Based on the foregoing, it is HEREBY ORDERED that:

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

in this action;

2. Plaintiff shall submit the $350.00 filing fee in full within thirty (30) days; and

3. If plaintiff fails to pay the $350.00 filing fee in full within thirty days, this action will

be dismissed, without prejudice.

IT IS SO ORDERED.
