UNITED STATES DISTRICT COURT

EASTERN DISTRICT OF CALIFORNIA

WILLIAM O. ROBINSON,

Plaintiff,

v.

OFFICER FRANCO, et al.,

Defendants.

 /

CASE NO. 1:07-cv-01186-AWI-NEW (DLB) PC

ORDER FINDING PLAINTIFF INELIGIBLE

TO PROCEED IN FORMA PAUPERIS IN

THIS ACTION, AND REQUIRING PLAINTIFF

TO PAY $350.00 FILING FEE IN FULL

WITHIN THIRTY DAYS OR THIS ACTION

WILL BE DISMISSED

Plaintiff William O. Robinson (“plaintiff”) is a state prisoner proceeding pro se in this civil

rights action pursuant to 42 U.S.C. § 1983. Plaintiff filed this action on August 15, 2007, along with

a motion seeking leave to proceed in forma pauperis. 

28 U.S.C. § 1915 governs proceedings in forma pauperis. Section 1915(g) 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.” A review of the actions filed by plaintiff reveals that plaintiff is subject to 28

U.S.C. § 1915(g) and is precluded from proceeding in forma pauperis unless plaintiff is, at the time

the complaint is filed, under imminent danger of serious physical injury.

The Court has reviewed plaintiff’s complaint and finds that plaintiff has alleged no facts that

support a finding that he is, at this time, under imminent danger of serious physical injury. Plantiff’s

claim accrued on July 28, 2006, when he was allegedly injured after falling when exiting a

transportation bus. Accordingly, plaintiff may not proceed in forma pauperis in this action, and must

submit the appropriate filing fee in order to proceed with this action. 

Based on the foregoing, it is HEREBY ORDERED that:

1. Pursuant to 28 U.S.C. § 1915(g), plaintiff is ineligible to proceed in forma pauperis

in this action;

2. Plaintiff shall pay the $350.00 filing fee in full within thirty (30) days from the date

of service of this order; and

3. If plaintiff fails to pay the $350.00 filing fee in full within thirty days, this action will

be dismissed, without prejudice.

IT IS SO ORDERED.
