DONALD LEE JAMES II V KINROSS CORRECTIONAL FACILITY WARDEN

Court of Appeals, State of Michigan
ORDER
DONALD LEE JAMES II V KINROSS CORRECTIONAL FACILITY WARDEN
Docket No. 379384
LC No. 2025-018403-AH
Brock A. Swartzle, 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 initial partial filing fee of $150, shall submit a copy of this order with the payment, and shall
refile the pleadings which are being returned with this order. If appellant timely files the partial
fee and refiles the pleadings, appellant generally may not file another new civil appeal or original
action in this Court until such time that either the Department of Corrections remits or appellant pays
the entire outstanding balance due. MCL 600.2963(8). Failure to comply with this order shall result
in the appeal not being filed in this Court and appellant not being responsible for paying the filing
fee.
If appellant timely files the partial fee and refiles the pleadings, monthly payments shall
be made to the Department of Corrections in an amount of 50 percent of the deposits made to
appellant’s account until the payments equal the balance due of $225. This amount shall then be
remitted to this Court. Again, appellant generally may not file either a new civil appeal or an original
action until appellant pays the entire outstanding balance due. MCL 600.2963(8).
The Clerk of this Court shall furnish two copies of this order to appellant and return
appellant’s pleadings with this order.
