January 30, 2026 Opinion or Order TEXT ORDER: This Court has instituted a reduced filing fee procedure for indigent plaintiffs who are institutionalized but who are not prisoners as defined in 28 USC Section 1915(h).

Income includes all deposits from any source. Plaintiff Jesse Gaskey is currently detained at Rushville Treatment and Detention Facility, and is thus subject to the reduced payment procedure.

Plaintiff is ordered to send an institutional check or money order in the amount of $5.00, payable to Clerk, U.S. District Court within 30 days from the date of this order. The reduced fee may be waived if the plaintiff, within 14 days of this order, files a motion to waive the fee and demonstrates good cause for such waiver. Entered by Judge Michael M.
