OCTOBER TERM, 1996

Per Curiam

VEY v. CLINTON, PRESIDENT OF THE UNITED STATES, et al.

on motion for leave to proceed in forma pauperis

No. 96-8796. Decided June 9, 1997

Pro se petitioner seeks leave to proceed in forma pauperis so that she may file a petition for certiorari from a Third Circuit decision dismissing her appeal as frivolous. In the past 61/2 years, she has filed 26 submissions in this Court, all of which have been denied; and eight weeks ago, the Clerk of the Court was instructed not to accept any further petitions for extraordinary writs from her absent the required fees, see In re Vey, ante, p. 303.

Held: Petitioner's motion to proceed in forma pauperis is denied. For the reasons stated in Martin v. District of Columbia Court of Appeals, 506 U. S. 1 (per curiam), she is barred from filing any further certiorari petitions in noncriminal matters unless she first complies with this Court's Rules.

Motion denied.

In the past 61/2 years, she has filed 26 submissions in this Court, all of which have been denied. Just eight weeks ago, we went even further, instructing the Clerk of the Court not to accept any further petitions for extraordinary writs from her unless she first paid the required fees. See In re Vey, ante, p. 303 (per curiam). Since that order has proved insufficient to deter petitioner's abusive conduct, we again
