IN THE UNITED STATES DISTRICT COURT

FOR THE EASTERN DISTRICT OF CALIFORNIA

ISABEL TUBACH, CASE NO. CV-F-03-5326 AWI DLB P

Plaintiff, FINDINGS AND RECOMMENDATIONS

RECOMMENDING PLAINTIFF BE 

vs. DENIED LEAVE TO PROCEED IN

FORMA PAUPERIS IN THIS ACTION

GRAY DAVIS, et al.,

[Doc. 2]

Defendants.

 /

Plaintiff is a state prisoner proceeding pro se in a civil rights action pursuant to 42 U.S.C. § 1983.

On March 17, 2003, plaintiff filed a complaint and on May 3, 2003, plaintiff filed a motion to proceed

in forma pauperis.

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.” A review of the record of actions filed by plaintiff in the United States District Court for the

Eastern District of California reveals that plaintiff filed three or more actions that were dismissed as

 Plaintiff has filed over 84 cases in this district and other districts. Among the dismissals suffered by plaintiff that 1

count as strikes under 1915(g) are Tubach v. Gomez CV-F-97-5549 OWW DLB (dismissed 10/17/97 as frivolous); Tubach v. Farmon

CV-F-96-5551 REC SMS (dismissed 2/24/98 as frivolous);Tubach v. Rilly CV-F-98-5603 REC HGB(dismissed 3/12/99 as frivolous).

frivolous, as malicious, or for failing to state a claim upon which relief may be granted. Thus, plaintiff 1

is subject 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 she

is, at this time, under imminent danger of serious physical injury. Thus, plaintiff may not proceed in

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

Accordingly, based on the foregoing, the court HEREBY RECOMMENDS that:

1. Pursuant to 28 U.S.C. § 1915(g), plaintiff be denied leave to proceed in forma pauperis;

2. Plaintiff be ordered to submit the $150.00 filing fee in full within fifteen (15) days; and

3. If plaintiff fails to pay the $150.00 filing fee in full within fifteen (15) days, this action

be dismissed, without prejudice.

These Findings and Recommendations will be submitted to the United States District Judge

assigned to the case, pursuant to the provisions of Title 28 U.S.C. § 636(b)(l). Within fifteen (15) days

after being served with these Findings and Recommendations, plaintiff may file written objections with

the court. The document should be captioned “Objections to Magistrate Judge’s Findings and

Recommendations.” Plaintiff is advised that failure to file objections within the specified time may

waive the right to appeal the District Court’s order. Martinez v. Ylst, 951 F.2d 1153 (9th Cir. 1991).

IT IS SO ORDERED.
