ORDER GRANTING IN PART AND DENYING IN PART
PLAINTIFF’S MOTION FOR WAIVER OF DOCUMENT FEES

This case is before the Court on Plaintiff’s Motion for Waiver of Document Fees (ECF
No. 10). Because this litigation concerns the ability of Plaintiff to access the courts and the
asserted obstruction of that right by persons at the Dayton Correctional Institution and because
the Court believes it is important to resolve this issue on the merits but cannot do so without
participation by the Defendants, it is hereby ORDERED:
1.

The Clerk shall furnish Plaintiff with one complete copy of ECF No. 7 without charge.

1

2.

When/if Plaintiff furnishes the required US Marshal service forms and summons for the

Defendants, the Clerk shall forward those documents to the Marshal with copies of the
Complaint (ECF No. 7) for service.

January 4, 2016.
s/ Michael R. Merz
United States Magistrate Judge
