M. MURRAY, ET AL., DEFENDANTS.
Plaintiff is a state prisoner proceeding pro se. Plaintiff seeks relief pursuant to 42 U.S.C. § 1983 and has requested leave to proceed in forma pauperis pursuant to 28 U.S.C. § 1915. This proceeding was referred to this court by Local Rule 72-302 pursuant to 28 U.S.C. § 636(b)(1).
Title 28 U.S.C. § 1915 permits any court of the United States to authorize the commencement and prosecution of any suit without prepayment of fees by a person who submits an affidavit indicating that the person is unable to pay such fees. However, [i]n no event shall a prisoner bring a civil action or appeal a judgment in a civil action or proceeding 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.
"Under the PLRA,*fn3 prisoners who have three complaints dismissed under section 1915(e)(2) are barred from filing additional in forma pauperis complaints unless they are 'under imminent danger of serious physical injury.'" 28 U.S.C. § 1915(g). Lopez v. Smith, 203 F.3d 1122, 1129 (9th Cir. 2000). To meet the exception, plaintiff must have alleged facts that demonstrate that he was "under imminent danger" at the time of filing the complaint. Andrews v. Cervantes, 493 F.3d 1047, 1052-53 (9th Cir. 2007).
Plaintiff alleges he is being poisoned by correctional staff.*fn4 Plaintiff seeks money damages only. Although plaintiff's allegations concern a medical condition, plaintiff does not demonstrate that at the time of filing of his complaint, he was "under imminent danger of serious physical injury." The fact that plaintiff seeks money damages only as a form of relief belies any representation that he might be under imminent danger.
Plaintiff will be directed to submit the entire filing fee of $350.00 within twenty-one days as he is barred from proceeding in this action in forma pauperis under the three strikes provision of § 1915(g). Plaintiff is cautioned that failure to comply with this order will result in a recommendation that this action be dismissed.
