PER CURIAM:
Tammy M. Stone appeals the district court’s dismissal of
her suits and entry of an order enjoining her from proceeding in
forma pauperis in any future civil action.
After reviewing the record, we affirm the dismissal of
Stone’s suits on the reasoning of the district court. We affirm,
as modified, the district court’s entry of an injunction against
Stone.
Federal courts have both the inherent power and the
constitutional obligation to protect their jurisdiction from
conduct that impairs their ability to carry out Article III
functions. In re Martin-Trigona, 737 F.2d 1254, 1261 (2d Cir.
1984); see Procup v. Strickland, 792 F.2d 1069, 1074 (11th Cir.
1986); Graham v. Riddle, 554 F.2d 133, 134-35 (4th Cir. 1977).
Given Stone’s history of abuse of the legal system, we find that
the district court did not abuse its discretion in enjoining Stone
from future filings. Nonetheless, the district court must take
into account that no person should ever be denied his right to the
processes of the court. In re Green, 598 F.2d 1126, 1127 (8th Cir.
1979). Therefore, we modify the district court's order to read,
“Tammy Stone is hereby enjoined from proceeding in forma pauperis
in any civil action without first obtaining leave of court.”
We grant Stone’s motions to proceed in forma pauperis.
We dispense with oral argument because the facts and legal
- 10 -
contentions are adequately presented in the materials before the
court and argument would not aid the decisional process.
AFFIRMED AS MODIFIED
