forma pauperis (“IFP”). We have jurisdiction under 28 U.S.C. § 1291. We review
for abuse of discretion. O’Loughlin v. Doe, 920 F.2d 614, 616 (9th Cir. 1990). We
affirm.
Moore-Ali does not contest on appeal that he is a three-strikes filer under 28
U.S.C. § 1915(g). Moreover, the district court correctly determined that he did not
show that he was “under imminent danger of serious physical injury.” 28 U.S.C.
§ 1915(g). The harm Moore-Ali alleged occurred approximately one year before
he filed the action. Accordingly, the district court properly denied his IFP
application.
AFFIRMED.
