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 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. 

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

1. Plaintiff’s April 7, 2006 motion 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 applicable to this action; and

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

that this action be dismissed.

DATED: May 8, 2006.
