BACKGROUND

19
20

Plaintiff, a state prisoner presently confined at the Corcoran

21

State Prison, filed this civil rights action pursuant to 42 U.S.C.

22

section 1983 on November 25, 2014, in the United States District Court

23

for the Southern District of California.

24

United States District Court for the Southern District of California

25

transferred the action to this Court.

26

issued an Order granting Plaintiff leave to proceed in forma pauperis

27

(“IFP”) without prepayment of filing fees.

On February 10, 2015, the Court

1

Under the Prison Litigation Reform Act, Pub L. No. 104-134, 110

2

Stat. 1321 (1996), a prisoner may not bring a civil action IFP if, on

3

three (3) or more previous occasions, the prisoner has brought an

4

action or appeal in a court of the United States that was dismissed on

5

the grounds that it was frivolous or malicious or failed to state a

6

claim upon which relief may be granted, unless the prisoner is under

7

imminent danger of serious physical injury.

28 U.S.C. § 1915(g).

8
9

On July 29, 2016, the Court issued an “Order to Show Cause,”

10

ordering Plaintiff inter alia to show cause in writing, if there be

11

any, why Plaintiff’s IFP status should not be revoked on the ground

12

that Plaintiff had suffered three or more prior dismissals qualifying

13

as “strikes” under 28 U.S.C. section 1915(g).

14

Plaintiff filed “Petitioner [sic] in pursuant to Federal Local Rules

15

[sic], etc.,” apparently responding to the Order to Show Cause.

On August 12, 2016,

16
17

On August 24, 2016, the Court issued an “Order Revoking

18

Plaintiff’s In Forma Pauperis Status.”

The August 24 Order revoked

19

Plaintiff’s in forma pauperis status pursuant to 28 U.S.C. section

20

1915(g) on the grounds that: (1) Plaintiff had suffered three or more

21

prior dismissals constituting “strikes” within the meaning of section

22

1915(g); and (2) the statutory exception provided in section 1915(g)

23

did not apply because Plaintiff had not alleged facts plausibly

24

showing that he was in “imminent danger of serious physical injury”

25

based on the conditions existing at the time he filed this action.

26

The Order required Plaintiff to pay the full filing fee within twenty-

27

one (21) days of August 24, 2016, if Plaintiff wished to pursue this

28

action.

The Order also advised Plaintiff that failure timely to pay
2

1

the full filing fee could result in dismissal of the action.

2

Nevertheless, Plaintiff has failed to pay the full filing fee within

3

the allotted time.

ORDER

For the foregoing reasons, the action is dismissed without

8

prejudice for failure to pay the full filing fee in conformity with

the Court’s August 24, 2016 Order.

See 28 U.S.C. § 1915(g).

IT IS SO ORDERED.
