IN THE UNITED STATES DISTRICT COURT

FOR THE EASTERN DISTRICT OF CALIFORNIA

JOHNNY RAMEY, CASE NO. CV-F-05-0228 AWI DLB P

Plaintiff, ORDER DENYING PLAINTIFF’S

MOTION FOR RECONSIDERATION

vs. AND REQUIRING PLAINTIFF TO

COMPLY WITH COURT ORDER

TRAN, et al., OF JULY 7, 2006 WITHIN

THIRTY DAYS

Defendants.

[Doc. 23]

 /

Plaintiff is a state prisoner proceeding pro se in a civil rights action pursuant to 42 U.S.C. § 1983.

This case was transferred to this Court on February 11, 2005. On April 6, 2005, the Court granted

plaintiff’s motion to proceed in forma pauperis. On March 13, 2006, the Court recommended that

plaintiff’s in forma pauperis status be revoked based upon the determination that plaintiff had, on three

or more occasions, filed actions that were dismissed as frivolous, as malicious or for failing to state a

claim upon which relief may be granted. Thus, the court determined that plaintiff is subject to 28 1

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

the complaint was filed, under imminent danger of serious physical injury. The court reviewed

plaintiff’s complaint and determined that plaintiff failed to allege facts that support a finding that he was

under imminent danger of serious physical injury. Thus, the Court determined that plaintiff may not

proceed in forma pauperis in this action. Inasmuch as plaintiff was granted leave to proceed in forma

pauperis in error, the Court recommended that plaintiff’s in forma pauperis action be revoked and

plaintiff be ordered to pay the $250.00 filing fee in full within thirty days. 

On July 7, 2006, over plaintiff’s objections, the District Court adopted the Findings and

Recommendations in full, revoked plaintiff’s in forma pauperis status and ordered plaintiff to file the

filing fee for this action within 30 days.

On July 16, 2006, plaintiff filed a motion to reconsideration of the Order adopting the Findings

and Recommendations.

To succeed on a motion for reconsideration, a party generally must set forth facts or law of a

strongly convincing nature to induce the court to reverse its prior decision. Cf. Fed. R. Civ. Pro. 60

(governing motions for reconsideration of final orders and judgments); Local Rule 78-230(k) (governing

motions for reconsideration of orders resolving motions). Plaintiff has set forth no arguments that

convince the court that its order of July 7, 2007 should be set aside. Plaintiff has set forth no additional

facts establishing that he is under imminent danger of serious physical injury or any other reason why

he is not subject to 28 U.S.C. § 1915(g).

Plaintiffs motion for reconsideration of the Court’s July 7, 2006 Order is HEREBY DENIED.

In light of this order, plaintiff shall have thirty days from the date of service of this order in which to pay

the $250.00 filing fee. If plaintiff fails to pay the filing fee within 30 days, this action will be dismissed.

IT IS SO ORDERED.
