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.
In Re Whitaker, 513 U.S. 1 (1994)
In re Whitaker No. 93-9220 Decided October 11, 1994 513 U.S. 1
ON MOTION FOR LEAVE TO PROCEED IN FORMA PAUPERIS
Syllabus
Since 1987, pro se petitioner Whitaker has filed 23 claims for relief, all of which have been denied without recorded dissent. He has also been denied leave to proceed in forma pauperis, pursuant to this Court’s Rule 39.8, for the last two petitions in which he has dought extraordinary relief.
Held: 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 extraordinary writs from him in noncriminal matters unless he pays the required docketing fee and submits his petitions in compliance with Rule 33. In order to prevent frivolous petitions for extraordinary relief from unsettling the fair administration of justice, this Court has a duty to deny in forma pauperis status to those individuals who have abused the system.
