or for failing to state a claim upon which relief can be granted. (Doc #20.) The Court ordered 1

Plaintiff to show cause why his IFP status should not be revoked. (Doc. #24.) Plaintiff did not

respond to the order to show cause and the Court issued a findings and recommendations that

or appeal in a court of the United States that was dismissed on the ground 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 injury.” 28
