Background
Markisha Patrice White brought the action pro se, meaning without a lawyer. The opinion states that she filed the complaint without paying the required filing fees and without submitting an application to proceed without prepaying fees.
Order
The court states that a civil action requires payment of $405: a $350 filing fee and a $55 administrative fee. Alternatively, a plaintiff may request permission to proceed without prepaying fees by submitting a signed application. The court ordered White to do one of those things within 30 days of the order.
If White submits the application and the court grants it, she may proceed without prepaying the fees. The court directed that no summons issue at this time. If White does not comply within the allowed period, the action will be dismissed. The court also certified that any appeal from this order would not be taken in good faith and denied permission to appeal without prepaying fees.
