ORDER ADOPTING FINDINGS AND
RECOMMENDATIONS, REVOKING
PLAINTIFF’S IN FORMA PAUPERIS
STATUS, AND DIRECTING PLAINTIFF TO
PAY FILING FEE
(Doc. Nos. 44, 56)

Plaintiff is a state prisoner proceeding pro se in this civil rights action filed pursuant to 42
19
U.S.C. § 1983. On July 14, 2015, plaintiff was granted leave to proceed in forma pauperis. (Doc.
20
No. 9.)
21
On March 7, 2017, the assigned magistrate judge issued findings and recommendations
22
recommending defendants’ motion to revoke in forma pauperis status be granted and plaintiff be
23
directed to pay the filing fee in full. (Doc. Nos. 44, 56.) Plaintiff filed an opposition to
24
defendants’ motion on March 9, 2017 and filed objections to the findings and recommendations
25
on March 23, 2017. (Doc. Nos. 57, 58.)
26
In accordance with the provisions of 28 U.S.C. § 636(b)(1)(C), the undersigned has
27
conducted a de novo review of this case. Having carefully reviewed the entire file, including
28
plaintiff’s objections, the undersigned concludes the findings and recommendations are supported
1
1
by the record and by proper analysis. Plaintiff’s contention that he falls within the imminent
2
danger exception of 28 U.S.C. § 1915(g) because he continues to experience health problems
3
from an alleged assault occurring more than two years ago is unpersuasive. A plaintiff must
4
allege “an ongoing danger” in order to meet the imminent danger exception to § 1915(g).
5
Andrews v. Cervantes, 493 F.3d 1047, 1056–57 (9th Cir. 2007).

Accordingly:
7
1. The court adopts the findings and recommendations filed on March 7, 2017 (Doc. No.
8
9
10
56) in full;
2. Defendants’ January 9, 2017 motion to revoke plaintiff’s in forma pauperis status (Co.
No. 44) is granted;
11
3. Plaintiff’s in forma pauperis status (Doc. No. 9) is revoked;
12
4. Plaintiff is directed to pay the required $400 filing fee in connection with this civil
13
14
action within fourteen (14) days of the date of this Order; and
5. Plaintiff’s failure to pay the filing fee or otherwise respond to this Court order will
15
result in the dismissal of this action.
16
IT IS SO ORDERED.
