ORDER
On order of the Chief Justice, the motion of plaintiff-appellant to reconsider the partial fee order of March 28, 2024, is GRANTED. Plaintiff-appellant is not required to pay a partial fee at this time. In re Jackson, 326 Mich.App. 629 (2018). However, as required by the Court's earlier order, plaintiff-appellant must return to the Court one copy of this order, along with the copy of the application previously mailed to him, within 21 days. MCL 600.2963.
By doing so, plaintiff-appellant acknowledges his responsibility to pay the full $375 filing fee. If plaintiff-appellant fails to timely comply with this order, the application will be administratively dismissed and the case closed. If plaintiff-appellant timely complies with this order, the Department of Correction shall retain 50% of future monthly deposits made to his account until the $375 is fully paid. Upon collecting the balance, the department shall remit that amount to this Court.
Under MCL 600.2963(8), plaintiff-appellant may not file a new civil action or appeal in this Court until the filing fee in this case is paid in full.
