ORDER
Plaintiff is a prisoner without counsel seeking relief for alleged civil rights violations. See 42 U.S.C. § 1983. He seeks leave to proceed in forma pauperis. This proceeding was referred to this court by Local Rule 302 pursuant to 28 U.S.C. § 636(b)(1) and is before the undersigned pursuant to plaintiff's consent. See 28 U.S.C. § 636; see also E.D. Cal. Local Rules, Appx. A, at (k)(4).
On April 19, 2010, the court found that plaintiff had, on three prior occasions, brought actions in a court of the United States that were dismissed on the ground that they were frivolous, malicious or failed to state a claim. The court also found that plaintiff had not demonstrated that he was "under imminent danger of serious physical injury," 28 U.S.C. § 1915(g), so that he nonetheless could proceed in forma pauperis. The court gave plaintiff thirty days either to make the showing required by 28 U.S.C. § 1915(g).
The 20-day period has expired and plaintiff has failed to make the requisite showing or otherwise respond to the court's order.
Accordingly, it is hereby ORDERED:
1. Plaintiff's motion to proceed in forma pauperis is denied; and
2. Plaintiff must pay the filing fee in full within 20 days. Failure to comply with this order will result in the dismissal of this case.
