KEITH THOMAS,

Plaintiff, No. CIV S-06-2925 MCE KJM P

vs.

G. AHMED, et al.,

Defendants. ORDER

 /

Plaintiff, a state prisoner proceeding pro se, has filed a civil rights action pursuant

to 42 U.S.C. § 1983. Review of court records reveals that on at least three occasions prior to the

filing of this action lawsuits filed by plaintiff in this district were dismissed on the grounds that

they were frivolous or malicious or failed to state a claim upon which relief may be granted.1

See Thomas v. Galaza, CIV F 00-5345 AWI LJO P (dismissed for failure to state a claim and as

frivolous on June 26, 2000); Thomas v. Kim, CIV F 99-6553 AWI HGB P (dismissed for failure

he brought each of these actions, and he did not take an appeal from the final judgment in any of

them.

A prisoner may not bring a civil action or appeal a civil judgment under the in

forma pauperis statute

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.

28 U.S.C. § 1915(g). In the present case, plaintiff has not alleged facts that suggest he is under

imminent danger of serious physical injury. Thus, plaintiff must pay the filing fee in order to

proceed with this case. 

In accordance with the above, IT IS HEREBY ORDERED that:

1. Plaintiff shall submit, within twenty days from the date of this order, the

$350.00 filing fee for this action; and

2. Plaintiff’s failure to comply with this order will result in a recommendation

that this action be dismissed.

DATED: April 25, 2007.
