court’s interpretation and application of 28 U.S.C. § 1915(g), Andrews v.
Cervantes, 493 F.3d 1047, 1052 (9th Cir. 2007), and review for an abuse of
discretion its denial of leave to proceed in forma pauperis, 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, and the
district court properly determined that he did not show that the denial of Halal meat
placed him “under imminent danger of serious physical injury.” 28 U.S.C.
§ 1915(g).
AFFIRMED.
