                               - 9 -
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.
