Plaintiff, a prisoner at USP Leavenworth, has neither paid the filing fee nor submitted a motion for leave to proceed in forma pauperis. However, plaintiff has filed at least three previous cases that were dismissed as frivolous, malicious, or for failure to state a claim.1 Under 28 U.S.C. § 1915(g), therefore, the Court may not allow plaintiff to proceed in forma pauperis unless he “is under imminent danger of serious physical injury.” After reviewing the complaint, the Court finds no allegations that would show that plaintiff is in imminent danger of serious physical injury. As a result, the Court will order plaintiff to pay the $400 filing fee within twenty-one days of the date of this Order. Accordingly, IT IS HEREBY ORDERED that plaintiff shall pay the $400 filing fee within twentyone (21) days of the date of this Order. 1 Speed v. Mehan, 4:13cv1841 SNLJ (E.D. Mo.)
