OCTOBER TERM, 1997
Per Curiam
on motion for leave to proceed in forma pauperis
No. 97-7300. Decided March 9, 1998
Held: Abusive filer's motion to proceed in forma pauperis is denied; and for the reasons discussed in Martin v. District of Columbia Court of Appeals, 506 U. S. 1, she is barred from filing any further certiorari petitions in noncriminal matters unless she first pays the required docketing fee and submits her petition in compliance with Rule 33.1.
Motion denied.
Per Curiam.
Pro se petitioner Glendora seeks leave to proceed in forma pauperis to file a petition for a writ of certiorari to the Second Circuit. The District Court dismissed petitioner's claims alleging violation of her due process rights and a conspiracy to violate her due process rights under Rev. Stat. § 1979, 42 U. S. C. § 1983, and 42 U.

The claims, which arose out of a dispute with her landlord, were based on purported "sewer service" used by her land-lord's lawyers and acceptance of the affidavits of service by the state-court trial judge. The Second Circuit denied petitioner's motion to proceed in forma pauperis and dismissed her appeal as frivolous.
We deny petitioner leave to proceed in forma pauperis. She is allowed until March 30, 1998, to pay the docketing fees required by Rule 38 and to submit her petition in compliance with Rule 33.1. For the reasons discussed below, we also direct the Clerk of the Court not to accept any further petitions for certiorari in noncriminal matters from petitioner unless she first pays the docketing fee required by Rule 38 and submits her petition in compliance with Rule 33.1.
Petitioner has filed 14 petitions with this Court since 1994. All have been denied without recorded dissent. In 1997, we invoked Rule 39.8 to deny petitioner in forma pauperis sta-
