AMENDED1 ORDER DECLINING ATTEMPTED FILINGS
Consistent with its earlier Cok order, the Court refuses to accept two new
attempted filings by Dr. Chandan Vora and directs the Clerk of Courts to return
those documents to her together with a copy of this Order.
I.
Vora v. Perry, 2:11-cv-00278-JAW
On July 18, 2011, Dr. Chandan Vora filed a complaint in this Court against
Theary Perry and Progressive Insurance Company.

On
August 17, 2011, the Magistrate Judge reviewed the allegations in the Complaint
and recommended that the Complaint be dismissed.
Recommended Decision
(Docket # 6). Dr. Vora filed an objection on October 3, 2011 and this Court affirmed
This Amended Order corrects a typographical error contained in the Order Declining Attempted
Filings (ECF No. 51 in 2:11-cv-00278-JAW and ECF No. 12 in 1:13-mc-00148-JAW). On page 2 of
the Order, first sentence of the last paragraph, it reads “On July 25, 2013, Dr. Vora filed with the
Court a motion for wavier of PACER fees.” The Order should read “On July 25, 2013, Dr. Vora filed
with the Court a motion for waiver of PACER fees.”

the Recommended Decision over her objection on October 5, 2011. Pl’s Objection to
Recommended Decision (Docket # 10); Order Affirming the Recommended Decision
of the Magistrate Judge (Docket # 11). On October 5, 2011, the Order was reduced
to Judgment. J. (Docket # 12). On December 29, 2011, Dr. Vora appealed the
Judgment to the Court of Appeals for the First Circuit. Notice of Appeal (ECF No.
28). On January 3, 2013, the First Circuit affirmed the district court’s Judgment
and issued its mandate on February 12, 2013. J. (ECF No. 33); Mandate (ECF No.
34). At that point the case was over.
Since then, however, Dr. Vora has continued to file documents with the
Court, which the Court has patiently struck since there is no pending case. Letter
by Chandan Vora (June 17, 2013) (ECF No. 36); Letter from Chandan Vora (July 18,
2013) (ECF No. 37); Mot. to Extend Time to File Mot. to Vacate All Orders of Judges

I.
In re: Waiver of PACER Fees by Chandan Vora: 1:13-mc-00148JAW
On July 15, 2013, Dr. Vora filed with this Court a motion for waiver of PACER
fees. Mot. for Waiver of PACER Fees (ECF No. 1). On July 19, 2013, the Court
denied the motion. Order (ECF No. 2). On August 8, 2013, Dr. Vora filed a motion
to extend time to file motion to vacate all orders of all judges and the Court denied
the motion on August 19, 2013. Mot. to Extend Time to File Mot. to Vacate All
Orders of All Judges (ECF No. 3); Order (ECF No. 4). On September 9, 2013, Dr.
Vora filed a motion for leave to proceed in forma pauperis and on September 23,
2013, the Court dismissed the motion. Mot. for Leave to Proceed In Forma Pauperis
(ECF No. 5); Order (ECF No. 7). On September 23, 2013, Dr. Vora filed a letter
with numerous attachments, including medical records. Letter from Chandan Vora
(ECF No. 8). On October 21, 2013, she filed a motion for reconsideration. Mot. for
Recons. of All Orders, Mot. to Extend Time to File Notice of Appeal, or in the
Alternative, Mot. to Construe as Notice of Appeal (ECF No. 9); Additional Attachs.
(ECF No. 10). On October 24, 2013, the Court denied these motions. Order (ECF
No. 11).
II.
New Filings
On November 4, 2013, the Court received two new documents from Dr. Vora: (1)
another application to proceed in district court without prepaying fees or costs and
(2) a twenty-five page dense and largely indecipherable significance. The Court has
reviewed these new documents and it has directed the Clerk not to file them and to
return them to Dr. Vora with this Order. On November 28, 2011, in Vora v. Perry,
the Court issued a Cok order against Dr. Vora, placing her on notice that “her
conduct of this case is revealing her to be a frivolous litigant and that she may merit
filings restrictions under Cok v. Family Court of Rhode Island, 985 F.2d 32, 35 (1st
Cir. 1993).”
Order at 2-3. In accordance with that Order, the Court declines to
accept either document.
To be clear, there is nothing pending before this Court on either Vora v. Perry,
1:11-cv-00278-JAW, where the Court of Appeals Mandate affirming the dismissal of
the case was received on February 13, 2013, or In re: Waiver of PACER Fees by
Chandan Vora, 1:13-mc-00148-JAW, where the period for appeal of the Court’s
denial of her application to waive PACER fees expired in mid-August, 2013. The
Court will not accept any further filings on these closed cases and directs the Clerk
of Courts of this District not to docket any further filings on these cases from Dr.
Vora and to return any such filings to her.
SO ORDERED.
