UNITED STATES DISTRICT COURT

EASTERN DISTRICT OF CALIFORNIA

JAMES E. SMITH,

Plaintiff,

v.

JONES, et al.,

Defendants.

 /

CASE NO. 1:09-cv-01553-OWW-DLB PC

ORDER DENYING MOTION FOR

RECONSIDERATION AND INJUNCTIVE

RELIEF

(Doc. 5)

Plaintiff James E. Smith (“Plaintiff”), also known as Tahee Abd Rasheed, is a prisoner in

the custody of the California Department of Corrections and Rehabilitation. Plaintiff was

proceeding pro se in a civil rights action. On March 10, 2010, this action was dismissed without

prejudice for Plaintiff’s failure to pay the $350.00 filing fee. (Doc. 3, Order Dismissing Action.) 

Plaintiff accrued more than three actions dismissed as strikes pursuant to 28 U.S.C. § 1915(g),

and did not qualify for any exceptions to proceed in forma pauperis. (Id.)

Pending before the Court is Plaintiff’s motion for preliminary injunctive relief and

reconsideration, filed March 31, 2010. (Doc. 5.) Plaintiff asserts that he should be permitted to

proceed in forma pauperis pursuant to 28 U.S.C. § 1915. Plaintiff contends that this is based on

the threat of serious physical injuries. (Id.) However, Plaintiff provides no facts, exhibits, or any

evidence in support of this bare assertion. Plaintiff also presented no facts in his complaint to

support a finding of imminent danger of serious physical injury. Accordingly, it is HEREBY

ORDERED that Plaintiff’s motion for injunctive relief, filed March 31, 2010, is DENIED.

IT IS SO ORDERED.
