2 later decisions quote this exact passage · from the majority“Day is an abuser of this Court’s certiorari process. We first invoked Rule 39.8 to deny Day in forma pauperis status last June. A that time he had filed 27 petitions in the past nine years.... Since we first denied him in forma pauperis status ..., he has filed eight more petitions for certiorari with this Court — all of them demonstrably frivolous.”
1 later decision quote this exact passage · from the majority“39.8 If satisfied that a petition for a writ of certiorari, jurisdictional statement, or petition for an extraordinary writ, as the case may be, is frivolous or malicious, the Court may deny a motion for leave to proceed in forma pauperis.”
