Smith, Tahee Abdul Rasheed and Tahee Adb’ Rasheed. 1 1 complaint is filed, under imminent danger of serious physical injury.2 2 The Court has reviewed Plaintiff’s complaint and finds that Plaintiff does not meet the 3 imminent danger exception.3 Andrews v. Cervantes, 493 F.3d 1047, 1053 (9th Cir. 2007). 4 Because Plaintiff alleges no facts supporting a finding that he is under imminent danger of 5 serious physical injury, Plaintiff is ineligible to proceed in forma pauperis in this action. 6 Accordingly, it is HEREBY ORDERED that: 7 1. Plaintiff is ineligible to proceed in forma pauperis in this action; 8 2. This action is DISMISSED, without prejudice to refiling with the submission of 9 the $350.00 filing fee in full; and 10 3. 11 IT IS SO ORDERED. 12 Dated: 66h44d The Clerk is directed to CLOSE this case.
