UNITED STATES DISTRICT COURT

EASTERN DISTRICT OF CALIFORNIA

Plaintiff Gregory Ell Shehee (“Plaintiff”), a state prisoner proceeding pro se, filed this civil 

rights action pursuant to 42 U.S.C. § 1983, on September 12, 2016. That same day, he also filed a 

motion for leave to proceed in forma pauperis. (Doc. 2.) 

Plaintiff is subject to 28 U.S.C. § 1915(g), which 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.”1

 

1 The Court takes judicial notice of the following United States District Court cases: Shehee v. Marie, et al., 

2:00-cv-01311-LKK-JFM (E.D. Cal. Jan. 5, 2001) (dismissed for failure to state a claim); Shehee v. Martin et 

al., 2:01-cv-0163-DFL-PAN (E.D. Cal. Aug. 16, 2001) (dismissed for failure to state a claim); Shehee v. Peugh,

The Court has reviewed Plaintiff’s complaint and his allegations do not satisfy the imminent 

danger exception to section 1915(g). Andrews v. Cervantes, 493 F.3d 1047, 1055-56 (9th Cir. 2007). 

Plaintiff asserts that from sometime in December 2013 until February 8, 2015, Faith Perez, a 

psychiatric technician at Coalinga State Hospital, sexually abused him, and his claims arise out of the 

alleged abuse. He further alleges that he is an ex-patient of that hospital, having left that institution on 

February 9, 2016 (Doc. 1, pp. 3 and 8), and who is currently being held at the Fresno Men’s County 

Jail, (id. at 1). Plaintiff makes no allegations concerning any imminent danger of serious physical 

injury. Therefore, Plaintiff has not satisfied the exception from the three strikes bar under 28 U.S.C. § 

1915(g), and must pay the $400.00 filing fee if he wishes to litigate this claim. 

Accordingly, the Court HEREBY ORDERS as follows:

1. Plaintiff’s motion for leave to proceed in forma pauperis (Doc. 2) is DENIED; and,

2. This action is DISMISSED without prejudice to re-filing accompanied by the $400.00 

filing fee. 

IT IS SO ORDERED.

Dated: October 14, 2016
