UNITED STATES DISTRICT COURT

EASTERN DISTRICT OF CALIFORNIA

CEDRIC GREENE,

Plaintiff,

v.

D. PEELER, et al.,

Defendants.

 /

CASE NO. 1:06-cv-01604-OWW-LJO P

ORDER FINDING PLAINTIFF INELIGIBLE

TO SEEK LEAVE 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 November 7, 2006, but neither

paid the $350.00 filing fee in full nor filed an application to proceed in forma pauperis.

28 U.S.C. § 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 underimminent danger of serious physical injury.” To date, plaintiff has filed thirty-five

actions in the United States District Court for the Eastern District of California and, as of August 7,

2006, has had three actions dismissed for failure to state a claim upon which relief may be granted.1

Thus, plaintiff 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 made no showing

that he is under imminent danger of serious physical injury. Accordingly, plaintiff is ineligible to

seek leave to 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. Plaintiff is ineligible to seek leave to proceed in forma pauperis in this action;

2. Within thirty (30) days from the date of service of this order, plaintiff shall pay the

$350.00 filing fee in full; 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.
