State Treasurer v. Lonnie Williams
LC No. 21-002536-CZ
ORDER
Michael F. Gadola, Judge, acting under MCR 7.211(E)(2), orders:
The motion to waive fees is DENIED because MCL 600.2963 mandates that a prisoner pursuing a civil action be liable for the filing fees.
Within 21 days after the date of this order, appellant shall pay to the Clerk of the Court the entry fee of $375 because the prisoner account statement shows a balance equal to or in excess of this amount. MCL 600.2963(2). Because appellant's application for leave to appeal was electronically filed payment of the $375 entry fee shall also be deemed to constitute resubmission of appellant's pleadings within the meaning of MCL 600.2963(1). Failure to comply with the requirements of this paragraph will result in the appeal not being filed in this Court and appellant not being responsible for paying the filing fee.
