    No. 00-8157.
    In re Alford.
   Motion of petitioner for leave to proceed in forma pauperis denied, and petition for writ of mandamus dismissed. See this Court’s Rule 39.8. As petitioner has repeatedly abused this Court’s process, the Clerk is directed not to accept any further petitions in noncriminal matters from petitioner unless the docketing fee required by Rule 88(a) is paid and the petition is submitted in compliance with Rule 33.1. See Martin v. District of Columbia Court of Appeals, 506 U.S. 1 (1992) (per curiam).

Justice Stevens dissents.

See id., at 4, and cases cited therein.
