IN THE UNITED STATES DISTRICT COURT

FOR THE EASTERN DISTRICT OF CALIFORNIA

ALTON E. DEAN,

Plaintiff, No. 2:10-cv-1355 JFM (PC)

vs.

KATHRYN M. GONZALES,

Defendant. ORDER

 /

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

to 42 U.S.C. § 1983 together with an application to proceed in forma pauperis pursuant to 28

U.S.C. §1915.

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

Order filed on March 6, 2003 in Dean v. Blanas, No. CIV 2:02-1122-LKK-GGH (E.D. Cal.);

order filed March 22, 1999 in Dean v. Sullivan, No. CIV 2:98-0717-LKK-DAD (E.D. Cal.); and

order filed January 8, 2004 in Dean v. Andreasen, MD.., No. CIV 2:02-0881-DFL-GGH.

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’s July 8, 2010 application to proceed in forma pauperis is denied;

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

$350.00 filing fee for this action; and

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

that this action be dismissed.

DATED: July 20, 2010.
