CASE NO. 1:07-cv-1425-AWI DLB PC

ORDER FINDING PLAINTIFF INELIGIBLE

TO PROCEED IN FORMA PAUPERIS IN

THIS ACTION, AND REQUIRING PLAINTIFF

TO PAY $350.00 FILING FEE IN FULL

WITHIN THIRTY DAYS OR THIS ACTION

WILL BE DISMISSED

Plaintiff Sonny Ray Hardaway (“plaintiff”) is a state prisoner proceeding pro se in this civil

rights action pursuant to 42 U.S.C. § 1983. Plaintiff filed this action on September 28, 2007.

Plaintiff did not pay the filing fee and has not filed an application to proceed in forma pauperis. 

28 U.S.C. § 1915 governs proceedings in forma pauperis. Section 1915(g) provides that “[i]n

no event shall a prisoner bring a civil action . . . under this section 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.” A review of the actions filed by plaintiff reveals that plaintiff is subject to 28

U.S.C. § 1915(g) and is precluded from proceeding in forma pauperis unless plaintiff is, at the time

the complaint is filed, under imminent danger of serious physical injury.

(dismissed 12/11/06 for failure to state a claim); 5:06-cv-06786-JF Hardaway v. Specter (N.D. Cal.) (dismissed

12/11/06 for failure to state a claim); and 5:06-cv-06578-JF Hardaway v. Lambden, et al. (N.D. Cal.) (dismissed

01/12/07 for failure to state a claim).

2

The Court has reviewed plaintiff’s complaint and finds that plaintiff has alleged no facts that

support a finding that he is, at this time, under imminent danger of serious physical injury.

Accordingly, plaintiff may not proceed in forma pauperis in this action, and must submit the

appropriate filing fee in order to proceed with this action. 

Based on the foregoing, it is HEREBY ORDERED that:

1. Pursuant to 28 U.S.C. § 1915(g), plaintiff is ineligible to proceed in forma pauperis

in this action;

2. Plaintiff shall pay the $350.00 filing fee in full within thirty (30) days from the date

of service of this order; and

3. If plaintiff fails to pay the $350.00 filing fee in full within thirty days, this action

shall be dismissed, without prejudice.

 

IT IS SO ORDERED.
