   MEMORANDUM

Arizona state prisoner Melinda Gabriella Valenzuela appeals pro se from the district court’s judgment dismissing her 42 U.S.C. § 1983 action following an order denying her application for leave to proceed in forma pauperis (“IFP”). We have jurisdiction under 28 U.S.C. § 1291. We review de novo the district court’s interpretation and application of 28 U.S.C. § 1915(g), Washington v. L.A. Cty. Sheriffs Dep’t, 833 F.3d 1048, 1054 (9th Cir. 2016), and for an abuse of discretion its denial of leave to proceed IFP, O’Loughlin v. Doe, 920 F.2d 614, 616 (9th Cir. 1990). We affirm.

The district court did not abuse its discretion, in denying Valenzuela leave to proceed IFP because Valenzuela failed to plausibly allege that she was “under imminent danger of serious physical injury” at the time she lodged the complaint. 28 U.S.C. § 1915(g); Andrews v. Cervantes, 493 F.3d 1047, 1054-57 (9th Cir. 2007) (discussing the imminent danger exception to § 1915(g)).

AFFIRMED. 
      
       This disposition is not appropriate for publication and is not precedent except as provided by Ninth Circuit Rule 36-3.
