ORDER OF DISMISSAL 

Plaintiff, a state prisoner and frequent litigant in this Court, filed the instant civil

rights complaint against the following Defendants: Monterey County District Attorneys

Pam Ham and Dean Flipp, Superior Court Judge Marla Anderson, and Judge Russel

Scott. Plaintiff also filed an application to proceed in forma pauperis under 28 U.S.C. §

1915. On October 24, 2006, the Court issued an Order to Show Cause to Plaintiff as to

why the instant complaint should not be dismissed without prejudice pursuant to 28

U.S.C. § 1915(g). See Andrews v. King, 398 F.3d 1113, 1121 (9th Cir. 2005). On

November 28, 2006, Plaintiff filed a response to the Court’s order. In his response,

Plaintiff does not address his prior dismissed actions, or dispute that these prior cases, as

set forth below, qualify under 28 U.S.C. 1915(g).

Order of Dismissal 

P:pro-se\sj.jf\cr.06\Alford195dis 2

The Prison Litigation Reform Act of 1995 (“PLRA”), which was enacted on April

26, 1996, provides that a prisoner may not bring a civil action or appeal a civil judgment

under 28 U.S.C. § 1915 “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.” 28 U.S.C. § 1915(g). 

 A review of the dismissal orders in Plaintiff’s prior prisoner actions in this Court

reveal that he has had at least three such cases dismissed on the grounds that they were

frivolous, malicious, or failed to state a claim upon which relief may be granted. See Day

v. Feinstein, C 96-1796-FMS (dismissed as frivolous); Alford v. Johnson, C 05-1352 JF

(PR) (dismissed for failure to state a claim); Alford v. Sony Electronic Inc., C 05-1581 JF

(PR) (dismissed for failure to state a claim). In light of these dismissals, and because

Plaintiff is not under imminent danger of serious physical injury, the instant civil rights

action is DISMISSED without prejudice pursuant to 28 U.S.C. § 1915(g). Plaintiff may

file his claims in a paid complaint in a new civil rights action. The Clerk shall terminate

any pending motions and close the file. No filing fee is due. 

IT IS SO ORDERED.
