 Although plaintiff has entered his name as “Bohanon” twice on the first page of the 1

complaint and also appears to have signed his name “Bohanon” on the third page of the

complaint, the attached verification and certificate of service form reveals that plaintiff’s name is

“Bohannon” and his CDCR number is E-68402. Seven previous actions have been filed in this

court with the CDCR identification number E-68402 under the name Gene or Gene L. Bohannon.

 Plaintiff has not filed an application to proceed in forma pauperis or paid the filing fee.

In addition, plaintiff has falsely alleged that he has brought no other lawsuits while a prisoner. 

The court’s records reveal that he has filed at least seven previous lawsuits in this district.
