General SummaryThis case is from a collection containing the full text of over 16,000 Supreme Court cases from 1793 to the present. The body of Supreme Court decisions are, effectively, the final interpretation of the Constitution. Only an amendment to the Constitution can permanently overturn an interpretation and this has happened only four times in American history.
Whitaker v. Superior Court, 514 U.S. 208 (1995)
Whitaker v. Superior Court of California, San Francisco County No. 94-7743 Decided April 17, 1995 514 U.S. 208
Syllabus
Since 1987, pro se petitioner Whitaker has filed 24 claims for relief, including 18 petitions for certiorari, all of which have been denied without recorded dissent. Earlier this Term, this Court directed the Clerk of Court not to accept further petitions for extraordinary wits from Whitaker in noncriminal matters unless he pays the required docketing fee and submits his petitions in compliance with Rule 33, In re Whitaker, 513 U.S. 1, 2, and warned Whitaker about his frequent filing patterns with respect to petitions for wit of certiorari, ibid.
Held: Pursuant to this Court’s Rule 39.8, Whitaker is denied leave to proceed in forma pauperis in the instant case, and the Clerk is instructed not to accept any further petitions for certiorari from him in noncriminal matters unless he pays the required docketing fee and submits his petitions in compliance with Rule 33. Like other similar orders this Court has issued, see, e.g., In re Sassower, 510 U.S. 4, this order will allow the Court to devote its limited resources to the claims of petitioners who have not abused the Court’s process.
Motion denied.
