IN THE UNITED STATES DISTRICT COURT

FOR THE EASTERN DISTRICT OF CALIFORNIA

TONY CAMPBELL,

Plaintiff, No. CIV S-06-2159 DFL DAD P

vs.

G. CAMPBELL, et al.,

Defendants. ORDER

 /

Plaintiff, a state prisoner proceeding pro se, has filed a civil rights action pursuant

to 42 U.S.C. § 1983, together with an application to proceed in forma pauperis pursuant to 28

U.S.C. §1915.

Review of court records reveals that on numerous occasions prior to the filing of

this action lawsuits filed by plaintiff in this district were dismissed on the grounds that the

lawsuits were frivolous or malicious or failed to state a claim upon which relief may be granted.1

See Order filed June 21, 1999, in Campbell v. Butts, No. CIV F-98-6483 AWI SMS P (E.D.

Cal.); Order filed March 27, 2001, in Campbell v. Randalph, No. CIV F-99-5462 REC HGB P

(E.D. Cal.); Order filed May 27, 2005, in Campbell v. Baughman, No. CIV S-05-0066 MCE

DAD P (E.D. Cal.); Order filed September 27, 2005, in Campbell v. Holmes, No. CIV S-04-2720

FCD DAD P (E.D. Cal.); Order filed September 28, 2005, in Campbell v. Smiley, No. CIV S-05-

0711 GEB DAD P. Plaintiff was incarcerated when he brought each of these actions, and he did

not take an appeal from the final judgment in any of them.

A prisoner may not bring a civil action or appeal a civil judgment under the in

forma pauperis statute

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).

In the present case, plaintiff alleges that three correctional officers used excessive

force on him on June 12, 2006. Plaintiff seeks billions of dollars in damages. Plaintiff alleges

that he is “under the immit [sic] danger of serious physical injury because I am unable to move

my right shoulder bone.” Plaintiff’s speculation about the possibility of accidental injury fails to

demonstrate imminent danger of serious physical injury. The theoretical danger suggested by

plaintiff bears little or no relationship to the claims alleged in this action and is inconsistent with

the relief plaintiff seeks. Thus, plaintiff must pay the filing fee in order to proceed with this case.

In accordance with the above, IT IS HEREBY ORDERED that:

1. Plaintiff’s September 29, 2006 application to proceed in forma pauperis is

denied;

2. Plaintiff shall submit, within twenty days from the date of this order, the

$350.00 filing fee for this action; and
