This is a civil rights case filed pro se by a state prisoner. A prisoner may not bring a

14

civil action in forma pauperis (“IFP”) "if the prisoner has, on 3 or more prior occasions, while

15

incarcerated or detained in any facility, brought an action or appeal in a court of the United

16

States that was dismissed on the grounds that it is frivolous, malicious, or fails to state a

17

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

18

serious physical injury." 28 U.S.C. § 1915(g).

19

The court issued an order to plaintiff noting that it appeared he had at least four

20

cases previously dismissed as frivolous, malicious, or for failure to state a claim, and listed

21

them. He was ordered to show cause within thirty days why leave to proceed IFP should

22

not be denied. When he failed to show cause, IFP was denied and he was ordered to pay

23

the $350 filing fee within thirty days. He was warned that if he did not the case would be

24

dismissed. He has not paid the fee. The case is DISMISSED. The clerk shall close the

25

file.
