Zatko v. California, 502 U.S. 16 (1991)

Zatko v. California


No. 91-5052


Decided Nov. 4, 1991
502 U.S. 16

ON MOTION FOR LEAVE TO PROCEED IN FORMA PAUPERIS

Syllabus

Over the past 10 years, petitioner Zatko has filed 73 petitions with this Court, 34 within the last 2 years, and petitioner Martin has filed over 45 petitions, 15 within the last 2 years.

Held: Zatko and Martin are denied in forma pauperis status in the instant cases, pursuant to this Court’s Rule 39.8. Their patterns of repoetitious filings have resulted in an extreme abuse of the system by burdening the office of the Clerk and other members of the Court’s staff.

Motions denied.
