On May 31, 2011, Plaintiff Bryan E. Ransom (“Plaintiff”), a prisoner proceeding pro se, filed

11

this civil rights action pursuant to 42 U.S.C. § 1983. Doc. 1. On July 1, 2011, the Court granted

12

Plaintiff’s motion to proceed in forma pauperis. Doc. 9.

13

A review of the record of actions filed by Plaintiff in the United States District Court revealed

14

that Plaintiff has filed at least three actions that were dismissed as frivolous, malicious, or for failing to

15

state a claim upon which relief may be granted. Moreover, Plaintiff’s vague and speculative claims did

16

not establish he was under imminent danger of serious physical injury at the time the complaint was

17

filed.

18

On August 24, 2012, the Court revoked Plaintiff’s in forma pauperis status, pursuant to the three

19

strike provision under 28 U.S.C. § 1915(g), and ordered Plaintiff to pay the $350.00 filing fee within

20

twenty days. Doc. 20. More than twenty days have passed, and Plaintiff has not paid the filing fee.

22

Accordingly, IT IS HEREBY ORDERED that this action is DISMISSED, without prejudice, and
the Clerk of the Court is directed to close the case.

IT IS SO ORDERED.
