UNITED STATES DISTRICT COURT
SOUTHERN DISTRICT OF FLORIDA
ADMINISTRATIVE ORDER 2026-47
IN RE: NC
EXEMPTION OF FEES TO ACCESS PACER Jun 23, 2026
FOR ASHLEY GRAVLIN
___________________________________________/
WPB
The United States District Court for the Southern District of Florida maintains case
information online with the Public Access to Court Electronic Records (PACER) website. The
Court desires to encourage the public’s use of the database, continue to promote public access, and
avoid unreasonable burdens on both users and court staff in retrieving data.
Ashley Gravlin, an individual researcher associated with an educational institution, falls
within the class of users listed in the fee schedule as being eligible for a fee exemption.
Additionally, Ms. Gravlin has demonstrated that an exemption is necessary to avoid unreasonable
burden and to promote public access to information. Therefore, it is
ORDERED AND ADJUDGED that Ms. Gravlin is exempt from the payment of fees for
access via PACER to the electronic case files maintained in this Court, to the extent such use is
incurred in her research to examine the federal habeas corpus litigation brought by detained
noncitizens with pending or approved T visa applications, between May 14, 2026, and May 8,
2027, including dockets, charging indictments, convictions and sentencing. Ms. Gravlin is not
exempt from the payment of fees incurred in connection with other uses of the PACER system.
Additionally, the following limitations apply:
1. this fee exemption applies only to and is valid only for the purposes stated above;
2. this fee exemption applies only to the electronic case files of the Court that are
available through the PACER system;
3. by accepting this exemption, Ashley Gravlin agrees not to sell for profit any data
obtained as a result of receiving this exemption;
4. Ms. Gravlin is prohibited from transferring any data obtained as a result of
receiving this exemption, including redistribution via internet-based databases; and
5. this exemption is valid retroactively from May 14, 2026, through May 8, 2027.
This exemption may be revoked at the discretion of the Court at any time. The Clerk of
Court for the United States District Court for the Southern District of Florida shall provide the
PACER Service Center with any detailed information the Center may require to implement this
Order.
DONE AND ORDERED in Miami, Florida, this 23rd day of June, 2026.
