In Re Sassower, 510 U.S. 4 (1993)

In re Sassower


No. 92-8933.


Decided October 12, 1993 *
510 U.S. 4

ON MOTIONS FOR LEAVE TO PROCEED IN FORMA PAUPERIS

Syllabus

In the three years prior to this Term, pro se petitioner Sassower had filed 11 petitions. However, in the last four months, he has suddenly increased his filings, and now has 10 petitions pending before this Court, all of them patently frivolous.

Held: Sassower is denied leave to proceed in forma pauperis in the instant cases, pursuant to this Court’s Rule 39.8, and the Clerk is directed not to accept any further petitions for certiorari nor any petitions for extraordinary writs from him in noncriminal matters unless he pays the required docketing fee and submits his petition in compliance with this Court’s Rule 33. For the important reasons discussed in Martin v. District of Columbia Court of Appeals, 506 U.S. 1, In re Sindram, 498 U.S. 177, and In re McDonald, 489 U.S. 180, the Court feels compelled to enter this order, which will allow the Court to devote its limited resources to the claims of petitioners who, unlike Sassower, have not abused the Court’s process.

Motions denied.
