In re Vey


No. 96-8005


Decided April 14, 1997
520 U.S. 303

ON MOTION FOR LEAVE TO PROCEED IN FORMA PAUPERIS

Syllabus

Pro se petitioner seeks leave to proceed in forma pauperis and requests this Court to issue a writ of habeas corpus vacating her 13-year-old convictions. In the past 6 1/2 years, she has filed 11 petitions for certiorari, 12 petitions for extraordinary relief, and 2 applications for bail, all of which have been denied. While her first 14 motions to proceed in forma pauperis were granted, she has since been denied leave to proceed in forma pauperis five times under this Court’s Rule 39.8.

Held: Petitioner’s motion to proceed in forma pauperis is denied. For the reasons discussed in Martin v. District of Columbia Court of Appeals, 506 U.S. 1 (per curiam), she is barred from filing any further petitions for extraordinary writs unless she first pays the docketing fee and submits her petition in compliance with Rule 33.

Motion denied.
