Nos. C 07-1726 CW (PR)

ORDER DISMISSING ACTION

AND TERMINATING ALL

PENDING MOTIONS

Plaintiff Jerome L. Grimes filed this pro se civil rights

action on March 27, 2007, when he was incarcerated at the San

Francisco County Jail. He seeks leave to proceed in forma pauperis.

On May 18, 2000, this Court informed Plaintiff that while he is a

prisoner, he generally is ineligible to proceed in forma pauperis in

federal court under the "three-strikes" provisions of 28 U.S.C. §

1915(g). See Grimes v. Oakland Police Dept., C 00-1100 CW (Order

Dismissing Complaint, 5/18/00). Since then, Plaintiff has continued

to file numerous civil actions as a prisoner, seeking in forma

pauperis status. With respect to each action filed, the Court

conducts a preliminary review to assess the nature of the

allegations and to determine whether Plaintiff alleges facts which

bring him within the "imminent danger of serious physical injury"

exception to § 1915(g). The Court has routinely granted Plaintiff

leave to amend to pay the full filing fee and to state cognizable

claims for relief but he has habitually failed to do so. For

example, in 2003 alone Plaintiff's failure to comply resulted in the

dismissal of approximately thirty-six actions under § 1915(g).

In accord with this ongoing practice, the Court has reviewed

the allegations in the present action and finds that Plaintiff

alleges no facts which bring him within the "imminent danger"

clause. 

Accordingly, this actions is DISMISSED without prejudice under

§ 1915(g). The Clerk of the Court shall CLOSE the file and

TERMINATE all pending motions. Plaintiff's request to proceed in

forma pauperis is DENIED. No fee is due in these actions. 

If Plaintiff is so inclined, he may bring his claims in a new

action accompanied by the $350.00 filing fee. In any event, the

Court will continue to review under § 1915(g) all future actions

filed by Plaintiff while he is incarcerated in which he seeks in

forma pauperis status. 

IT IS SO ORDERED.
