that the exception turns on the "conditions a prisoner faced at the time the complaint was filed, not at some earlier or later time"); United States v. Jackson, 480 F.3d 1014, 1018-19 (9th Cir. 2007); Williams v. Paramo, 775 F.3d 1182, 1187, 1189 (9th Cir. 2015) ("We concluded in Andrews [II] that 1915(g) required a showing of imminent danger 'at the time the prisoner filed the complaint' because of the section's use of the present tense and its concern with the initial act of 'bring[ing] the action.'").
