KHARVELL LEWIS, Plaintiff, v. TURNWALD and BAILEY, Defendants.
Matthew F. Leitman United States District Judge
ORDER REGARDING REFUND OF FILING FEE
Curtis Ivy, Jr. United States Magistrate Judge
Plaintiff's lawsuit was transferred to this Court from the Western District of Michigan. On November 14, 2024, Plaintiff filed a letter explaining that he paid the filing fee in full in both courts, totaling $700. He asked that he be refunded the $350 filing fee paid from his prison trust account applied to the Eastern District of Michigan. (ECF No. 38).
Last week, the Western District of Michigan mailed Plaintiff a letter explaining that the Eastern District would refund his $350 overpayment. That letter is attached. Plaintiff should expect to see the refund within a few weeks.
