Plaintiff is therefore not entitled to proceed in forma pauperis unless he alleges facts indicating that he is in imminent danger of serious physical injury. Plaintiff alleges no such facts in this case. Plaintiff is therefore not entitled to proceed in forma pauperis. Accordingly, On May 29, 2009, Plaintiff was ordered to show cause, within thirty days, why he should not be denied leave to proceed in forma pauperis and directed to pay the filing fee in full. Plaintiff failed to respond to the order to show cause. Accordingly, IT IS HEREBY RECOMMENDED that: 1. Plaintiff be denied leave to proceed in forma pauperis pursuant to 28 U.S.C. § 1915(g). 2. Plaintiff be directed to pay the $350 filing fee in full. These findings and recommendations are submitted to the United States District Judge assigned to the case, pursuant to the provisions of Title 28 U.S.C. § 636(b)(1). Within thirty days after being served with these findings and recommendations, any party may file written objections with the court and serve a copy on all parties. Such a document should be captioned "Objections to Magistrate Judge's Findings and Recommendations." Any reply to the objections shall be served and filed within ten days after service of the objections. The parties are advised that failure to file objections within the specified time waives all objections to the judge's findings of fact. See Turner v. Duncan, 158 F.3d 449, 455 (9th Cir. 1998). Failure to file objections within the specified time may waive the right to appeal the District Court's order. Martinez v. Ylst, 951 F.2d 1153 (9th Cir. 1991). IT IS SO ORDERED.
