Plaintiff-Appellant,
V SC: 160082
COA: 348319
GUS HARRISON CORRECTIONAL FACILITY
WARDEN,
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 date of this order, appellant shall pay to the Clerk of the
Court the initial partial filing fee of $14.00; submit a copy of this order; and refile the
copy of the pleadings returned with this order. Failure to comply with this order shall
result in the appeal not being filed in this Court.
If appellant timely files the partial fee and refiles the pleadings, monthly payments
shall be made to the Department of Corrections in the amount of 50 percent of the deposits
made to appellant’s account until the payments equal the balance due of $361.00. This
amount shall then be remitted to this Court.
Pursuant to MCL 600.2963(8) appellant shall not file a new civil action or appeal in
this Court until the entry fee in this case is paid in full.
The Clerk of the Court shall furnish two copies of this order to appellant and return
a copy of appellant’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.
