UNITED STATES DISTRICT COURT

EASTERN DISTRICT OF CALIFORNIA

WILLIE WEAVER,

Plaintiff,

v.

GUSMAN, et al.,

Defendants.

Case No. 1:15-cv-01165-LJO-DLB PC

ORDER DISMSSING ACTION, WITHOUT 

PREJUDICE, PURSUANT TO 28 U.S.C. 

§ 1915(G)

Plaintiff Willie Weaver (“Plaintiff”) is a California state prisoner proceeding pro se in this 

civil action pursuant to 42 U.S.C. § 1983. Plaintiff filed this action on July 20, 2015, and it was 

transferred to this Court on July 27, 2015. 

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 cases: Weaver v. California Correctional Institution Confinement 

SHU, Case No. 1:06-cv-00671 OWW SMS P (E.D. Cal. 2006) (dismissed July 17, 2006, as frivolous and for failure to 

state a claim); (2) Weaver v. California Correctional Institution Third Watch Lieutenant, 1:06-cv-00775 OWW LJO P 

(E.D. Cal. 2006) (dismissed July 17, 2006, as frivolous and for failure to state a claim); (3) Weaver v. California 

Correctional Institution, 1:06-cv-00863 OWW SMS P (E.D. Cal. 2006) (dismissed August 1, 2006, for failure to state a 

claim); (4) Weaver v. Appeal Coordinator, 1:06-cv-00134 OWW DLB P (E.D. Cal. 2006) (dismissed August 28, 2006,

for failure to state a claim); (5) Weaver v. California Correctional Institution, 1:04-cv-06079 LJO WMW P (E.D. Cal. 

2006) (dismissed December 7, 2007, for failure to state a claim).

The Court also notes that Plaintiff has been designated as a three-strikes litigant in at least three 

cases.

2

The Court has reviewed Plaintiff’s complaint and finds that it does not involve imminent 

danger of serious physical injury to Plaintiff. Andrews v. Cervantes, 493 F.3d 1047, 1055-56 (9th 

Cir. 2007). Plaintiff alleges that he is an E.O.P. prisoner and was forced “to yard main line.” ECF 

No. 1, at 3. He also alleges that Defendants Gusman, Vasquase and Bartman used excessive force 

against him on May 10, 2015. Plaintiff states that as of the time of the filing of his complaint, he is 

at risk of imminent serious injury. However, Plaintiff provides no specific information as to his 

claims, and his vague and conclusory allegations are insufficient to meet the imminent danger 

requirement. 

Therefore, because Plaintiff is not in imminent danger of serious physical injury, he is not 

entitled to proceed in forma pauperis. Plaintiff must pay the filing fee if he wishes to litigate these 

claims. 

Accordingly, the Court HEREBY ORDERS as follows: 

1. This action is DISMISSED, without prejudice to re-filing accompanied by the 

$400.00 filing fee; and

2. The Clerk of the Court shall enter judgment.

IT IS SO ORDERED.

Dated: July 29, 2015 /s/ Lawrence J. O’Neill
