Plaintiff-Appellant,

v SC: 152969
COA: 327458
DEPARTMENT OF CORRECTIONS,
Defendant-Appellee.
___________________________________

On order of the Chief Justice, the motion to waive fees is considered and it is
DENIED because MCL 600.2963 requires that a prisoner pursuing a civil action be liable
for filing fees.
Within 21 days of the certification of this order, plaintiff shall pay to the Clerk of
the Court the filing fee of $375.00 in its entirety because the prisoner account statement
shows a balance equal to or in excess of this amount. Additionally, plaintiff shall submit
a copy of this order with the payment, and shall refile the copy of the pleadings which
is being returned with this order. Failure to comply with this order shall result in the
appeal not being filed in this Court.
The Clerk of the Court shall furnish two copies of this order to plaintiff and return
plaintiff’s pleadings with this order.

I, Larry S. Royster, Clerk of the Michigan Supreme Court, certify that the
foregoing is a true and complete copy of the order entered at the direction of the Court.
