IN THE UNITED STATES DISTRICT COURT

FOR THE EASTERN DISTRICT OF CALIFORNIA

WILLIAM O. ROBINSON,

Plaintiff, CV F 07 1187 LJO WMW PC

vs. ORDER TO SHOW CAUSE

M. ZOHER, et al.,

DefendanSt.

Plaintiff is a state prisoner proceeding pro se. Plaintiff seeks relief pursuant to 42

U.S.C. § 1983. This proceeding was referred to this court by Local Rule 72-302 pursuant to 28

U.S.C. § 636(b)(1). Plaintiff has submitted request to proceed in forma pauperis pursuant to 28

U.S.C. § 1915(a).

Plaintiff, an inmate in the custody of the California Department of Corrections

and Rehabilitation at Corcoran State Prison, brings this civil rights action against defendant

correctional officials employed by the CDCR at Corcoran State Prison. Plaintiff claims that the

treatment he received for an injury on September 6, 2006, was inadequate.

The Prison Litigation Reform Act provides that “[i]n no event shall a prisoner

bring a civil action . . . under this section if the prisoner has, on 3 or more occasions, while

incarcerated or detained in a facility, brought an action or appeal in a court of the United States

that was dismissed on the ground 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 injury.” 

This plaintiff has, on 3 prior occasions, brought civil actions challenging the

conditions of his confinement. All three action were dismissed as frivolous, or for failure to state

a claim upon which relief can be granted. Robinson v. Garcia,, CV F 05 1034 OWW SMS PC;

Robinson v. Joh Doe II, CV F 05 1054 OWW LJO PC; Robinson v. Scribner, CV F 05 1548

OWW LJO PC. Plaintiff is therefore not entitled to proceed in forma pauperis unless he alleges

facts indicating that he is in imminent danger of serious physical injury. Plaintiff alleges no such

facts in this case.

Accordingly, IT IS ORDERED that Plaintiff show cause, within thirty days, why

his in forma pauperis status should not be revoked and Plaintiff be directed to pay the filing fee

in full. 

IT IS SO ORDERED.
