UNITED STATES DISTRICT COURT
WESTERN DISTRICT OF MICHIGAN
IN RE: APPLICATION FOR EXEMPTION Administrative Order
FROM THE ELECTRONIC PUBLIC No. 26-MS-49
ACCESS FEES BY ASHLEY GRAVLIN
/
This matter is before the Court upon the application and request by Ashley Gravlin 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 Ashley Gravlin, a graduate student at Georgia State University
College of Law, falls within the class of users listed in the fee schedule as being eligible for a fee
exemption. Additionally, Gravlin has demonstrated that an exemption is necessary in order to
avoid unreasonable burdens and to promote public access to information.
Accordingly, Gravlin 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 conducting research to examine the federal habeas corpus litigation brought by detained
noncitizens with pending or approved T visa applications.
Gravlin 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 Ashley Gravlin (PACER Account #5007431),
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, Gravlin agrees not to sell for profit any data obtained
as a result of receiving this exemption;
4. Gravlin 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 from May 14, 2026, through May 8, 2027.
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.
