CASE NO. 1:07-cv-00187-AWI-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 Cedric Greene (“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 February 2, 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.” To date, plaintiff has filed thirty-eight actions in the United States District Court

for the Eastern District of California and has had three or more actions dismissed as frivolous, as

to 28 U.S.C. § 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. 

The Court has reviewed plaintiff’s complaint and finds that plaintiff has alleged no facts that

support a finding that he is, at this time, under imminent danger of serious physical injury.

Accordingly, 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.
