THE SUPREME COURT OF THE UNITED STATES
OCTOBER TERM 1995-1996


SHIEH

v.

KAKITA


517 U.S. 343

1996


* * *



PER CURIAM:

We enter the order barring prospective filings for the reasons discussed in Martin v. District of Columbia Court of Appeals, 506 U.S. 1 (1992). Shieh's abuse of the writ of certiorari has been in noncriminal cases, and so we limit our sanction accordingly. The order will not prevent Shieh from petitioning to challenge criminal sanctions which might be imposed against him. The order will, however, allow this Court to devote its limited resources to the claims of petitioners who have not abused our certiorari process.

It is so ordered.

Justice Stevens, dissenting.

For the reasons I have previously expressed, I respectfully dissent. See Jones v. ABC-TV, 516 U.S. ___, ___ (1996) (Stevens, J., dissenting); Attwood v. Singletary, 516 U.S. ___, ___ (1996) (Stevens, J., dissenting); Martin v. District of Columbia Court of Appeals, 506 U.S. 1, 4 (1992) (Stevens, J., dissenting); Zatko v. California, 502 U.S. 16, 18 (1991) (Stevens, J.,

dissenting).
