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

THIRTY DAY DEADLINE TO PAY FILING

FEE IN FULL

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 March 3, 2008, 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 under imminent danger of serious physical injury.” 

To date, plaintiff has filed over 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

Greene v. Inmate Appeals Branch, 2:05-cv-01324-GEB-GGH P (dismissed for failure to state a claim on 05/05/2006); 1

state a claim upon which relief may be granted. Thus, plaintiff is subject to 28 U.S.C. § 1915(g) and 1

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.
