  JUSTICE STEVENS, dissenting.

  Adhering to the views expressed in the dissenting opinions in Brown v. Herald
                                                                _______________

(1989), and Wrenn v. Benson, 490 U. S. 89, 92 (1989), I would deny these
            _____    ______
petitions for writs of certiorari without reaching the merits of the motions to
proceed in forma pauperis.  In the future, however, I shall not encumber the
        _________________
record by noting my dissent from similar orders denying leave to proceed in
                                                                         __
