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. Williams v. Candelaria, CV F 98 5034 REC DLB P;

Williams v. Candelaria, CV F 98 5873 DLB P; and Williams v. Candelaria, CV F 98 5985 OWW

LJO P. 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. 

On June 1, 2007, an order to show cause was entered, directing Plaintiff to show

cause, within thirty days, why he should not be denied leave to proceed in forma pauperis and

directed to pay the filing fee in full. Plaintiff has not filed a response to the order to show cause.

 Accordingly, IT IS HEREBY RECOMMENDED that:

1. Plaintiff’s application to proceed in forma pauperis be denied pursuant to 28

U.S.C. § 1915(g).

2. Plaintiff be ordered to submit the $350.00 filing fee in full within fifteen days.

3. Should plaintiff fail to pay the filing fee, this action be dismissed, without

prejudice for his failure to do so, pursuant to Local Rule 11-110.

IT IS SO ORDERED.
