Plaintiff, a state prisoner proceeding pro se, has filed this civil rights action seeking relief

On March 22, 2021, the Court denied plaintiff’s applications for leave to proceed in forma

pauperis because plaintiff is a three-strikes litigant within the meaning of 28 U.S.C. § 1915(g) and

granted plaintiff twenty-one days within which to pay the $402 filing fee for this action. ECF No.
