Date Filed Document Text
January 13, 2021 Filing 4 +++ PRISONER TRUST FUND LEDGER. (SAG, ilcd)
January 13, 2021 Opinion or Order TEXT ORDER: This Court has instituted a reduced payment procedure for indigent plaintiffs who are institutionalized but who are not prisoners as defined in 28 USC Section 1915(h). A reduced payment is assessed of 50% of such plaintiff's average monthly income for the six months preceding the filing of the complaint (not to exceed the $402 filing fee). Income includes all deposits from any source. The plaintiff Michael W. Smith is currently detained at Rushville Treatment and Detention Facility, and is thus subject to the reduced payment procedure. However, the plaintiff's ledgers for the past six months show an average monthly income of $1.00 or less. No reduced filing fee will be assessed. Entered by Judge James E. Shadid on 1/13/2021.
