UNITED STATES OF AMERICA
UNITED STATES DISTRICT COURT
WESTERN DISTRICT OF MICHIGAN
IN RE: APPLICATION FOR EXEMPTION Administrative Order
FROM THE ELECTRONIC PUBLIC No. 20-MS-073
ACCESS FEES BY KACYN FUJII
/
This matter is before the Court upon the application and request by Kacyn Fujii for
exemption from the fees imposed by the Electronic Public Access fee schedule adopted
by the Judicial Conference of the United States Courts.
The Court finds that Kacyn Fujii, a student at the University of Michigan Law School,
falls within the class of users listed in the fee schedule as being eligible for a fee exemption.
Additionally, Fujii has demonstrated that an exemption is necessary in order to avoid
unreasonable burdens and to promote public access to information.
Accordingly, Fujii shall be 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
the course of researching two-sided markets and what impact a 2018 Amex case is
having on new antitrust cases. Specifically, Fujii will search dockets to see if there are
more defendants that either cite to Amex or mention "two-sided markets" or "two-sided
platforms" in their briefs. Fujii shall not be exempt from the payment of fees incurred in
connection with other uses of the PACER system in this Court. Additionally, the following
limitations apply:
1. This fee exemption applies only to Fujii (PACER Account # 6535314), and
is valid only for the purposes stated above;
2. This fee exemption applies only to the electronic case files of this Court that
are available through the PACER system;
3. By accepting this exemption, Fujii agrees not to sell for profit any data
obtained as a result of receiving this exemption;
4. Fujii is prohibited from transferring any data obtained as a result of
receiving this exemption, including redistribution via internet-based
databases;
5. This exemption is valid until December 31, 2020.
This Order may be revoked at the discretion of the Court at any time. A copy of
this Order shall be sent to the PACER Service Center.
IT IS SO ORDERED.
FOR THE COURT:
Dated: September 29, 2020
