 A court may take judicial notice of court records. See MGIC Indem. Co. v. Weisman,

803 F.2d 500, 505 (9th Cir. 1986); United States v. Wilson, 631 F.2d 118, 119 (9th Cir. 1980).

IN THE UNITED STATES DISTRICT COURT

FOR THE EASTERN DISTRICT OF CALIFORNIA

TONY CAMPBELL,

Plaintiff, No. CIV S-05-0711 GEB DAD P

vs.

S. SMILEY,

Defendant. ORDER

 /

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

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

1915.

Review of court records reveals that on at least three occasions prior to the filing

of this action lawsuits filed by the plaintiff were dismissed on the grounds that they 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 23, 2005, in Campbell v. Turner, No. CIV S-05-0778 FCD DAD P (E.D. Cal.);

and Order filed May 27, 2005, in Campbell v. Baughman, No. CIV S-05-0066 MCE DAD P

(E.D. Cal.). Plaintiff was incarcerated when he brought each of these actions.

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). Plaintiff has not alleged facts that suggest he is under imminent danger of

serious physical injury. Thus, plaintiff must pay the filing fee in order to proceed with this case. 

Accordingly, IT IS ORDERED that:

1. Plaintiff’s April 12, 2005 application to proceed in forma pauperis is denied;

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

$250.00 filing fee for this action; and

3. Plaintiff’s failure to comply with this order will result in a recommendation

that this action be dismissed. 

DATED: August 17, 2005.
