I think he's asking about local availability of IFR. I'm not familiar
with your area but in the Los Angeles are the answer is *NO*. If you
are not IFR when you take off there is little chance you're going to
get an IFR while airborne (even prefiled). Generally if you need to
pick up an IFR clearance in the LA area they ask you to land to pick
up the clearance.
