28 G:\CRBALL\2008\677\order revoking IFP status and staying case.wpd 2

The Court takes judicial notice of Judge Ishii’s November 15, 2012 Order revoking

Plaintiff’s IFP status in another case, Greene v. Vasquez, et al., Case No. 1:12-cv-01568-

AWI-GBC PC. RJN (dkt. 39), Ex. D. In view of Judge Ishii’s Order, the Court GRANTS

the instant Motion. Plaintiff’s IFP status is hereby REVOKED.

“When [IFP] status is denied or revoked under § 1915(g), the proper course of action

is to dismiss the action without prejudice to re-filing the action upon prepayment of fees at

the time the action is re-filed.” Givens v. Knipp, CIV S-12-0688-CMK-P, 2012 WL

4755166, at *1 (E.D. Cal. Oct. 4, 2012). Accordingly, Defendants’ motion for a stay is

DENIED AS MOOT. The instant action is DISMISSED. The dismissal is without

prejudice, meaning, Plaintiff may re-file this case if he pays the filing fee.

IT IS SO ORDERED.
