Summary
The Michigan Supreme Court denied a prisoner's motion to waive filing fees, holding that MCL 600.2963 requires a prisoner pursuing a civil action to be liable for filing fees. The court ordered an initial partial payment of $24 and monthly deductions of 50% of deposits to the prisoner's account until the $400 balance is paid, with dismissal of the complaint for non-compliance. This order addresses prisoner litigation filing fees, partial payment plans, and the prohibition on new filings until the fee is paid in full under Michigan law.
