20.01.2026 14:44 β π 1 π 0 π¬ 0 π 0JUSTICE JACKSON, dissenting from denial of motion for leave to proceed in forma pauperis. To file a petition in this Court, litigants must pay a $300 fee, along with the (much higher) cost of printing 40 bound copies of their filing. Litigants who cannot afford the filing fee and the cost of printing can request to proceed in forma pauperis. The Court largely grants these requests, allowing those litigants to file for free, but our openness to indigent litigants has its limits. In fact, the Court sometimes imposes blanket filing bars that prohibit litigants from filing any more in forma pauperis petitions in noncriminal matters going forward, regardless of the merits of their claims.
I believe that when balancing prisonersβ access to judicial review, on the one hand, and reducing our administrative burden, on the other, we should err on the side of keeping our courthouse doors open. For a system designed to administer justice, reflexively rejecting (potentially meritorious) petitions from incarcerated litigants has a cost that is much too high when compared to the (meager) administrative efficiency gains. Nor should we forget the role that indigent incarcerated litigants have played in the development of important constitutional doctrinesβand through habeas proceedings no less. See, e.g., Gideon v. Wainwright, 372 U. S. 335 (1963); see also Sindram, 498 U. S., at 181 (Marshall, J., dissenting). Accordingly, I would not apply the filing bar that the Court imposes for frequent βfrivolousβ filers to prisoners who, like Howell, seek to proceed in forma pauperis.
Justice Jackson takes an interesting stand today. SCOTUS often waives the filing fees for indigent partiesβbut refuses to do so after they file multiple "frivolous" petitions. Jackson says that's unfair and dissents from the practice moving forward. www.supremecourt.gov/orders/court...
