Opinion excerpt
Per Curiam. Pro se petitioner Schwarz seeks leave to proceed informa 'pauperis under Rule 39 of this Court. We deny this request as frivolous pursuant to Rule 39.8. Schwarz is allowed until March 29, 1999, within which to pay the docketing fee required by Rule 38 and to submit her petitions in compliance with this Court’s Rule 33.1.

Before that time, Schwarz had filed 29 petitions for certiorari, all of which were both patently frivolous and had been denied without recorded dissent. The instant petitions for certio-rari thus constitute Schwarz’s 34th and 35th frivolous filings with this Court. We enter the order barring prospective filings for the reasons discussed in Martin v. District of Columbia Court of Appeals, 506…
