C/O SOTELA, et. al.,

Defendants. ORDER

 /

Plaintiff is a state prisoner proceeding pro se with this action. Plaintiff has filed a

civil rights complaint seeking relief under 42 U.S.C. § 1983. Plaintiff has not paid the required

filing fee of $250.00. See 28 U.S.C. § 1914(a).

On at least three occasions prior to the filing of this action, lawsuits filed by

claim upon which relief may be granted.1 See In re Alford, Nos. C 01-00074 CAL PR, C 01-

that they were frivolous, malicious, or failed to state a claim); Day v. Ninth Cir. Ct. of Appeals

Judges, et al., No. C 98-0902 FMS PR, 1998 WL 169537, at *1 (N.D. Cal. Mar. 13, 1998) (citing

three cases filed by Morris Day, aka Rickey Louis Alford, in the Northern District and dismissed

prior to 1998 on the grounds that they were frivolous, malicious, or failed to state a claim). See

also Findings and Recommendations filed Jan. 23, 1998, in Day v. United States Secret Service

Director, No. CIV S-97-1912 WBS JFM P (E.D. Cal.) (taking judicial notice of orders filed Aug.

8, 1997, in Day v. Smith, No. C 97-2604 CAL PR (N.D. Cal.), and Alford v. Smith, No. C 97-

2605 CAL PR (N.D. Cal.), both of which were appended to plaintiff’s complaint).

The Prison Litigation Reform Act of 1995 provides that a prisoner may not bring

a civil action or appeal a civil judgment under 28 U.S.C. 1915

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.

28 U.S.C. § 1915(g). Plaintiff does not allege in this action that he is under imminent danger of

serious physical injury.

Accordingly, IT IS HEREBY ORDERED that plaintiff shall submit, within

twenty days from the date of this order, the $250.00 filing fee. Plaintiff’s failure to comply with

this order will result in a recommendation that the case be dismissed for failure to pay the filing

fee.
